In the early days of my career, I wrote storyboards for video production projects while working as a professional photographer.ÂOne of those projects caught the attention of an IT manager.He hired me to videotape a software training class.ÂI wrote a storyboard for the project to help me to understand the software so I could edit the video properly.ÂLater, the IT manager told me that his programmers were using my storyboard to learn the software because it was easier to follow than the training materials supplied by the vendor.ÂHope this helps.ÂWill HusaÂWill Husa sent this message from his Verizon wireless deviceÂ
