STORYBOARD/ANIMATIC TIPS

ko-fi✏️

I made these for my friends, but I thought that might be helpful for yall as well! hehe! Now whenever someone asks for storyboard tips I can throw this at them!

Examples of storyboards I made for fun:

Swiss!Reader: Knife

Soap: Hey, does anyone have scissors?

Reader: Yeah, take this

Soap: Woah it’s a real swiss army knife, cool!

[Later]

Ghost: Anyone have some pliers?

Reader: Yep.

[Later]

Gaz: Fuck, I can’t read that shit, it’s so tiny…

Reader: Take this

Gaz: A magnifying glass?? Damn what kind of knife is that?

Reader: A swiss army knife.

[Later, AGAIN]

Captain Price: Anyone has some tweezers?

Reader: Uh-uh

Price: Thanks.

Soap: This is getting ridiculous

[Later]

Kate: Sorry folks, no drinks for us I guess, I can’t open this bottle

Reader: Lemme have it

Soap: A corkscrew too?!

[Later]

Reader, frowning:

Gaz: Do you have something stuck in your teeth?

Reader: Yeah

Gaz: I can get you a tooth pick later

Reader: Nah, I’m good thanks.

Soap: …

[Later]

Price: I can’t see a bloody thing anymore, I think we have to stay here over night, I can’t fix the engine like this

Reader: I can shine my flashlight on it and you continue?

Price: Okay

Soap: Where did you- no, I don’t wanna ask.

Reader: You already know.

[Later]

Ghost: Is it just me or is it getting colder in here?

Reader: It’s currently 21° celsius, yesterday it was 23°

Soap: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A THERMOMETER IN YOUR KNIFE-

Reader: Like I said, it’s swiss made. And I also have a ruler, a screwdriver, a can opener, a nail file, a nail clippe-

Soap, covering his ears: Lalalala, I CAN’T HEAR YOU

a psa for those writing for johnny “soap” mctavish

as much as a love the works you’re all writing, a lot of people really don’t know how to write a scottish character (and that’s ok !!!! we get like no rep so) so as a scottish writer, i figured i should help you guys out a little bit.

dialogue

johnny has a VERYYY strong accent as i’m sure anyone can work out

however this doesn’t mean he’s suddenly speaking a different language

yes, a lot of slang is used and for a basic definition of scottish slang and how they should be used; use this ! if you have no idea of slang i’d recommend reading through every word

although we like to use slang, i can promise you that if we’re with someone that wouldn’t understand a word of it / someone who’s first language isn’t english, we wouldn’t speak fully scot (for example if johnny was speaking to alejandro or rudy)

there’s absolutely nothing to suggest he can speak gaelic. yeah i know this is an obvious one but i have seen a few people slip gaelic into his dialogue and that’s super duper inaccurate

barely anyone in scotland speaks gaelic (unless you’re up very high north or maybe in the isles). it’s actually almost an extinct language because the english pretty much wiped it out when we got colonised.

something i love to see is when he mumbles little scottish things under his breath. accurate af.

we say shite more than shit. and never ever will a scottish person say ass. it’s arse all the way.

we don’t call people (especially if you’re sleeping with someone !!!!) lass. or lassie. we call kids that.

pet names are normally along the lines of love, hen (my personal fave), sweetheart, little lady, bonnie (sometimes)

also, shagging is sex. shag, shagged, shagger. yeah.

mum not mom. maw, more commonly.

all that being said he does use a loottttt of slang so honestly go ham i love seeing scots language get used because it’s not been used in fanfic like ever before

culture

seen a few people write soap going mad for st andrews day

yeah no we don’t to that lol i barely every remember that it’s actually st andrews day

also, we aren’t all completely versed on celtic mythology. i could barely tell you the first thing about it.

in scotland we’re all kind of touchy, like we’ll greet people with a hug and stand weirdly close to each other so if that’s something you’re writing about it’s important to note that our personal space is really small

not sure where people get this idea from but scotland isn’t all sheep and highlands and fairies and like little huts

yes we have that but we’re a really modern nation and wayyy to many people have a weird perception of scotland

my man is literally from like glasgow (his accent sounds glasgow but don’t quote me on that) he’s not a farmer or anything

we swear. a lot.

KILTS. not skirts, very common to wear in scotland to events like weddings, christenings, anything formal really.

cunt isn’t a horrible word i literally everyone a cunt, sometimes it’s used affectionately

misc.

if you’re gonna write about scottish politics i beg you research it. johnnys probably pro independence and an SNP voter. google it for context

we’re really loud. and we talk really fast. yes, other characters are gonna be confused af

irn bru !!!!!!!!! it’s a scottish drink and ive seen one person mention it and i just about cried i loved it

in scotland you can vote at 16 and join the army at 16 if that’s relevant to you

if you’re going to write about something you don’t know anything about, either do research or ask someone scottish (im more than happy to help!!)

please don’t take these as complaints or anything !! it’s just very very off putting to see people make massive misconceptions and conclusions about scotland! i love that we’re finally getting some hype. anyways ask about anything!! <3
