I had to shoot and direct a commercial for a card payment company in Nigeria and ofcourse, we had to be specific with the shots, so I had to create a storyboard and it was indeed helpful.

Congratulations on your shoot and for using good production practices.
As far as I'm concerned storyboarding is always important on a shoot where there are a lot of people working on the project.We had these storyboards for a film that we shot two years ago and they were really helpful during production.

I find storyboards (even stick figure) to be valuable and necessary - even for a one man shoot. It's a 'visual outline' that will help keeping the story on track - more or less.

I agree but have you ever been forced to abandon your storyboard on set and just improvise and why did that happen?

You know that this has never happened to us, that we had been forced to abandon the shot plan.
Anytime there is a problem it has always been beneficiral to have an in and an out point to reference what needs to happen in between.

I enjoyed both your storyboards Adeniyi Joseph and Vital Butinar. In the stress of the live shoot it can certainly help everyone stay focused and on track. Hope you're still creating!
I do many TV commercialS. In every project, I will present my story idea and concept with a storyboard or a motion board to my client in PPM. And I will align my treatments along with a shooting board with my client in FPPM. Off course, I will have to adjust shots on set but with a detail rundown I will not miss my key shots.

This is how my shooting board looks like.
