When making my Dio-story, I had a story in my head and when I shot the scenes, I shot them with the dialogue in my head, knowing who was going to say what, and how I needed to frame the shot to keep the figures in frame as well as make room for speech bubbles. For action shots, I just shot lots of extra pictures from different angles, with close ups and far shots. I'd also shoot several pictures of scenes in case I want to add more dialogue or not have a bunch of bubbles in one frame. I've got in mind a couple short stories right now, but it'll be a bit before I can shoot them, so I may right them out.

Do you write a script?
Do you make story boards?
Do you just shoot and hope for the best?

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
