Storyboard Commentary: Drawing Pans (Panorama Shots)

In today's storyboard commentary, the topic is Pans. "Pan" is short for "Panorama Shot," a camera move in which we move the viewer from left to right, or right to left, or vertically or diagonally.

Here are some examples of pans from my storyboards on SpongeBob, Phineas & Ferb and Hey Arnold:

I've been answering many of your questions in the blog comments, while other questions are answered in the videos. If your question hasn't been answered yet, It's probably because I'm trying to answer them in the context of the topic of the posts...so I promise I'll get to them all ^_^
