The process was actually, as far as I know, created by Disney for the specific purpose of animation and is now used by, well, everyone! Not just in animation but for any movie. You might have a shot in your head and it might be awesome, but do you really see it or is it more a feeling? I find that when I "envision" a shot in my head all I'm really doing is saying, "that would be awesome if ____ happens." Now if I draw it out, I can actually see it and I can look and ask questions about it. Is the camera angle the best angle I can get? Is the story point clear? Can I show this better?

If the answer to any of those questions is negative (positive on the last one :P ) I redraw it.

Also, and I've never done this but I should, it can help with the sound design a lot. Check this out:

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I really think storyboarding is kind of useless unless you've got several different animators working on the same project, or have trouble remembering things. I have never drawn a complete set of storyboards on a project I was doing solo, because I've already got all the images in my head, so it would be redundant and a waste of time to put them down on paper. 

But to answer your original question, I do not think it is necessary to script action sequences. All you really need to do is have a couple key points in the fight where something actually happens, and then you just fill in the blanks with whatever you feel like doing.]]></content>
