Storyboard Creation Software for Video Production

Storyboard
Storyboard

A Storyboard is a sequence of drawings representing the shots planned for a video production. The drawings show how the video will unfold, shot by shot, with notes about what’s going on in the scene and what’s being said or heard in the script during that shot.  The purpose is to pre-visualize and communicate the intended live action, animation and motion graphic.

Traditionally, storyboards are drawn on physical paper.  Today there are storyboarding software and apps to make this task easier.
