WorldBuilder - The Art of Storytelling Frame by Frame

https://imaworldbuilder.com/framebyframe

Turn your art into powerful stories. Frame by Frame teaches you how to craft images that speak — how to use composition, lighting, and rhythm to create emotion and narrative flow in your concept art. Through hands-on projects inspired by real film and game production, you’ll learn how to move from rough sketches and thumbnails to fully realized cinematic frames that look like they belong in a movie or AAA concept sequence. Whether you want to strengthen your storytelling, build better compositions, or learn how to think like a director, this course will give you the tools to bring meaning to every frame you create.
