![]() ![]() To this effect, the StoryBoard Artist 7 user has an impressive array of tools to his/her disposal that determine how a character is positioned, consisting of arrows and other “annotation” utilities that show how a character or object should move through each frame of the movie. The focus of the “storyboarder” therefore can be entirely on the storyline itself and on the creation of the timeline on a frame-by-frame basis. The storyboard artist - no pun intended - doesn’t need to know more than drag and drop those library objects to the canvas. ![]() The whole application is built on libraries of pre-existing, professionally crafted 3D objects, scenes, buildings, male, female and child characters, etc. Whereas Toon Boom’s product requires the storyboard designer to be able to draw scenes, action and characters, those skills are absolutely not needed to use StoryBoard Artist 7. StoryBoard Artist 7 on the other hand, is specifically targeted at movie production. My own experience is limited to Toon Boom’s Storyboard Pro, an advanced professional storyboard that serves the animation industry as well as the movie industry. Not all storyboard applications are created equal. StoryBoard Artist 7 is a storyboard application specifically developed for movies. ![]() A storyboard usually shows an animated timeline translating the script so people can have a better idea as to what the movie will look like. ![]() To sell the movie to a producer or even at a later stage, it helps if a storyboard exists. It requires a written story that tells where each character will be at any specific time, the design of the rooms, the location, etc. A movie that has a story to tell - in contrast with most Youtube movies, that don’t get any further than the videoclip stage - needs to be planned ahead. ![]()
