Storyboards are multiple panels of rough drawings that put the episode's script into visual form. The original episode is shown on the bottom right. In the storyboards for the first season, each entry replaces the words in the original title with their synonyms.

Currently, there are 15 storyboard videos. The first storyboard video was released in August of 2011, and no newer storyboards were shown for a while. However, from July 2018 to September 2018, more storyboards were released. In April 2020, the first BFB episode storyboard was released.

Inside many .fla source files of episodes, some storyboards for that clip can be found.

Differences between storyboards and episodes

• Differences in the storyboard for "Getting Teardrop to Talk":
  • When Loser tells Pencil to put Naily down, the latter is referred to as a boy (because Naily was originally a male).
  • Fanny (in one panel only) is depicted with arms in the storyboard, but she doesn't have them in the final episode.
  • When Teardrop sits on the cliff, Lollipop was intended to come first instead of Eggy.
  • Lightning was intended to never have arms at all (they were only in the storyboard when he grabs Fanny to join the team).
  • TV was originally intended to show "YAY" instead of a blooming rose.
  • Saw was originally intended to drop lava droplets.
  • When Four says that iance loses, he refers to the team as "the alliance and others".

Trivia

• The video title for the storyboard of "A Taste of Space", "Storyboard of "A Taste of Space" — (BFB 27 comes out on Friday, Dec 11", confirms the release date of BFB 27 on December 11th.
• The storyboard of "A Taste of Space" was made private shortly after its upload for having very low video quality. It was reuploaded later with much higher quality.
• The storyboard gets referenced in BFB 29 with budget cuts causing the episode to degrade into a storyboard of the episode near the climax.
• BFB 23's storyboard video was made unlisted shortly after it was published. This is most likely due to an alternate line where Lollipop uses profanity. The profane line was later blurred out.
• BFB 23's storyboard showed in some clips that Bubble was supposed to be in BFB 23. But since she was eliminated, it had to be changed.
• Many episodes of BFDI were boarded using a crudely drawn style of comic pages, similarly to Total Firey Island, containing speech bubbles as dialogues and not many references for shot compositions and actions. More modern episodes of the series, namely post-revival BFDIA, have started using a more formal and standardized style of storyboarding.
