Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
Storyboards are traditionally created on paper, but digital storyboard software like StudioBinder eliminates the pen and paper method. Images can be uploaded, organized, edited, and presented digitally and online.
The best storyboard software includes features and functionality that are specifically designed with professional storyboard artists in mind. In StudioBinder, you have full editing control over the image to dial in your precise vision, including adding text, arrows, filters, and more.
Storyboard Artists can use a variety of different storyboard programs. In some, they can draw directly into the software with a stylus. In others, like StudioBinder, the images can be scanned and uploaded.
When you set out to make your storyboard, there is a lot of freedom in how you go about it. That being said, here are some basic storyboarding steps you can follow.
- Read your script and think about what shots would be best
- Start with a blank storyboard template
- Add your images (either hand-drawn or digitally created)
- Label your images with scene and shot numbers
- Include a description for each shot for context
- If there is camera or character movement, insert arrows to indicate that
- Assemble your completed storyboards in story order
In general, the two types of software needed would be one to create the images and one to organize the images. For example, you might use an AI generator to create your storyboard frames, and then you might use StudioBinder to organize them, add annotations and descriptions, and then generate a custom PDF to share with the cast and crew.
Storyboards are meant to be the first draft of your shots and images that will make up the finished project. It's a way to brainstorm and plan your shots well in advance because once you're on set, time is money.
A storyboard is a collection of images that represent each shot of a scene or project overall. They look similar to a comic book, but each frame has separate notes and descriptions for the production team.
A storyboard template is a pre-made document with blank storyboard frames that you would then add images to. Using a template is great because you don't have to create the frames for each page, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects.
