By the end, you'll know how to create a professional storyboard that expresses each of these elements clearly and concisely.

A course by Pablo Buratti
Pablo Buratti was born in Argentina in 1975. As an illustrator, he has worked in a variety of fields, specializing in the audiovisual sector as a storyboard and concept artist.
"I feel privileged to have been able to combine two of my great passions in my career: drawing, which has been with me since childhood, and cinema, which burst onto the scene some time later and has remained ever since."
He completed his studies in filmmaking and audiovisual production in Argentina, which is where he began his professional career. In 2001, he relocated to Madrid and has been involved in over 20 film projects since then, working alongside filmmakers such as Pedro Almodóvar, Álex de la Iglesia, J.A. Bayona, Daniel Calparsoro, and Manuel G. Pereira, among others.
He also spent almost a year in China co-storyboarding an international production that premiered in 2018.
Aside from film projects, advertising makes up a large part of his work, and he collaborates with production companies and advertising agencies in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America.
