The old way was designing every frame by hand in an editor, then redoing the deck when one line of the script changed. The shift: turn your storyboard into a plain text file with fields. Once it's data, code can build it forever.
Make your next script a file, not a slide.

pinterestField note for video teams: storyboards trapped in slide decks are dead on arrival because nobody can render them. The method: write your storyboard as a plain text file with fields, like YAML, then render it in code. Once your script is data instead of a slide, code can build the video forever.
