Most commercials I’ve been on still do test shoots even with storyboards made. They just use iphones. And as for my direct industry, I’m in animation, storyboards are really essential since you can’t just create the whole project from the start. There is also definitely an art to doing storyboards, not ever artist I’ve worked with can do storyboards. I knew a few people whose career was just storyboards. So much can be discovered through storyboards, especially if all departments are involved.
