If done right, storyboarding gives you a quick overview of the visual flow from shot to shot so you can work out any problems before you spend hours animating a shot and inserting it into a complete edit of your film. If you're familiar with guidelines like the thirty degree rule, some problems in cinematography arise not because the shots are bad individually, but because they don't work well in succession. Storyboarding can help you catch issues like that before you invest a significant amount of time into the shots.

It also lets you focus on what you need to show in each shot to satisfy story requirements so you can prioritize cinematography that benefits your storytelling over just choosing random shots and hoping they capture everything you want.

An added benefit in stopmotion is that you can build sets around your storyboard, meaning you only have to spend time building what you know you want to show.

That sounds like a great way to get a sense of what camera angles you want; especially if you can't draw those angles just right on a piece of paper. Plus you get a more realistic vision of what your scene looks like

@HoldingOurOwn I'm in the same boat. Storyboarding is the stage I skip. I always have a basic idea of how I'm going to shoot my scenes, and quite often decide how I want things to be as I go along. That, however probably doesn't help when it comes to my fight scenes. My next episode of App Man has a lot of fight sequences that are going to be considerably hard to animate. I am thinking about storyboarding just the fight scenes, as I will want them to look as good as possible. But when it comes to scenes of just dialogue, I don't feel like I need much of a storyboard to go by.
