Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
A storyboard creator, like StudioBinder, is a software program that assists with the creation of storyboards. Some programs allow you to upload images, while others include built-in AI image generation.
Adding items, text, and images to StudioBinder's storyboard creator is super simple. To add a new panel, click the "+ Frame" button on the lower left. To add text, click on the audio, video, or description fields.
Once you have created a storyboard project, you can start uploading and importing images. With the images added, you can drag and drop them into the ideal arrangement (typically in scene/story order). When it's complete, you can export a PDF and share it with the team.
You can easily storyboard without drawing. You can either take photographs, pull images from other projects, or use AI generators to gather your images.
A storyboard is a tool that can be made to fit your process. So, technically speaking, there are no storyboarding "mistakes" per se. But here is a short list of considerations that you might have otherwise had to learn the hard way.
- Don't storyboard every single shot, only the main setups.
- Don't storyboard every single scene. Skip the simple dialogue scenes and save your storyboarding efforts for the more complicated scenes/shots.
- Arrange your storyboard in story order, making it easier to follow along.
A good storyboard includes high-quality images, clear directions for the camera and character blocking, and detailed descriptions that add context.
No, typically, dialogue is excluded from storyboards, but there might be some contextual description for the shots that indicate what dialogue is meant to be said for that particular shot. For example, "Tommy talks about his dad."
