Storyboarding is the most effective way to communicate story ideas with pictures.
Storyboarding is the most effective way to communicate story ideas with pictures.
There are many ways to create storyboards
- Drawing with Pencil on Paper - not for me, I can't draw
- Drawing with Software - still can't draw
- Software with artwork included - my favorite
- 3D Storyboard Software - takes too long
- Hire a storyboard artist - too much money
I like using software that will help me finish quickly and brainstorm easily. After all, I want to shoot the movie for real, not make the movie in the computer. That's why I like the 2D software with artwork built-in. The 3D stuff takes way too long to get anything done.
Plus, when creating your storyboard in software specifically for storyboard process there's no need to start with templates. The template format will be based on layout choices made after you're done composing shots. Depending on the software, you can choose from numerous ways to present your boards when the project is digital. Some software can print boards and make a movie file with sound.
Below are some videos that explain how you can use their software much easier than drawing by hand.
