Free Anime Storyboard Templates for 1.77:1 aspect ratio (Japanese version) 🇯🇵

Here is a free anime storyboard template in PDF format, designed for print on DIN A4 vertical (portrait) page. This template comes in two PDFs with five frames per sheet, each in 16:9 (1:77:1) aspect ratio. The layout draws inspiration from the beautiful Studio Ghibli storyboards.

Boxes:

• The first column, カット, indicates cuts. Use it to number your shots.
• The second column, 画面, stands for the picture screen. That’s where you draw or place your storyboard shots.
• 内容 stands for content. This column is for your notes (dialogue, action, etc.)
• The last column, 秒, is for annotating the duration of your shots in seconds.

You can print it out and start drawing on paper right away.
