Hand gestures? lol. nah, if my crew asks how i want the shot to look i tell them to go read teh script again, my script doesnt say where the camera is and stuff, but i feel it visually shows what i want to portray. then they come back and i ask them how the scene ortrayed itself in there mind, they tell me and then i tell them what my image was and sometiems we work on both percpectives, finally we do the scene.

I do this so my vision can be there vision, and so i can always be improving the writing and image i want to portray, though i do understand when your working with HEAPS OF CREW, how a storyboard can benifit. But i dont often work with a very large crew.
