The storyboard helps guide the animator on what has been established in your pre-production work. Because of the storyboard, they know what camera angles to use, how to move the camera, and how the action should play out. Storyboarding isn't simply limited to animation.
Have you ever walked through an animation studio and conducted a poll as to who is a storyboard artist, and who is not? I have, and the results were staggering. Apparently, EVERYONE is a storyboard artist. Or rather, everyone THINKS they are a storyboard artist. Have they ever done it professionally (gotten paid for it) though? Probably not. Have they actually seen one of their storyboards put together on an editing suite, complete? I doubt it. One cannot be an effective storyboard artist without learning the rules of storyboarding from people with experience, and by making mistakes themselves and realizing those mistakes. Also, the best storyboard artists are people who have been animating for a number of years because they are more able to assess what will be the best angle to animate, and what will be too hard to animate.
