How to storyboard a script?

So was wondering if anyone knew of any good video tutorials or has advice on how the workflow for story boarding a script should be or what they do?
 
Think of storyboarding as a comic book. Every frame is a shot that you want to see, from whatever angle you want, arranged in order as they happen in your script. You don't have to be a great sketch artist to do a storyboard, stick figures are still better than nothing. The point of the storyboard is to organize your thoughts, your visuals in to a manageable shot list for your script so that when you get to your location, you're utilizing your time effectively. It's also a great way to see if your shot ideas flow, and if they do your rough cut for editing should go a little quicker.

Storyboarding is a great tool for your preproduction. As for tutorials.. here's a pretty good one with templates. It's not a video, but chock full of great info all the same. Storyboarding Tutorial
