Love storyboards, hating making them

So, its 12:07 in the morning on a Saturday and I have no idea why I decided to make a new post now. I was planning on making one earlier, but why for the life of me did I decide to do when I am the most tired, I have no idea. Anyways, as you can see by the lovely title above, I love me some storyboards, but wow, they are a pain to make. For those of you who aren't 100% aware of what a storyboard is, well, a storyboard is basically a ton of pictures which depict every shot of film to help keep track of scenes, what shots are needed, provide a visual sense of the film, you get get the idea.
As of now, I alone have done every storyboard so far in the film and after that, I want to draw a stick figure. (But of course that's not allowed in the great art of story boarding). For my video class, we don't use note card like pieces paper, but instead use a single sheet of paper that has nine beautiful boxes; one for each shot. In total, I have drawn out 60 of these pages, and I am not even close to being done. Thanks to my amazing math skills, I have estimated that I have drawn out an estimated 540 pictures, and all I can say is that if I have to draw out my characters one more time, I will go nuts. Its not like story boarding is some sort of modern day torture technique, its just that after drawing over 500 pictures, you get a little bit tired of it all.
So, why do I love these pages that are driving me nuts right now? Well, its because they actually are extremely helpful. While I was writing Ron and Justin, I never really thought about how a shot would look. I just got a vague image in my head while writing. Now that I have to storyboard, it makes me think about how a shot needs to be established and makes the story even more real. I've gotten the insight how even just a simple dialogue scene can be strenuous. I mean, think about it, have you ever seen a movie that just a single shot through the whole scene? Didn't think so. You see over shoulders, only one person on screen, both of them, half of one, half of the other, I mean come on, you really have a new outlook on the difficulty of this aspect in filming.
Jeez, I really went off topic, didn't I? Right, I also love story boarding because it helps you keep track of EVERYTHING. I know what shots I need to film, what is left in the film, who needs to be in shot, who should back the fudge off...you get the gist of it all. When you know what shots you've done, you just put a small red X next to the picture and you're all good. So, you see my point, a story board is essential to any film that has a chance to being produced, however, you want to strangle anybody who tells you you're not doing a good job or that you need to draw more.
