Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
There are two main ways to generate a storyboard:
- Pen and paper — drawing each panel/frame by hand
- Storyboard generator software — uploading images or using AI
No, not usually. The typical storyboarding process is done after the script has been completed.
Other than StudioBinder's storyboard generator, there are alternatives like Boords, Storyboarder, and Canva.
The most basic rule in storyboarding is clarity. The whole point of doing a storyboard is to document and visualize the shots in a project. But if you or especially your crew can't fully grasp the imagery, it defeats the purpose. So, no matter if you're using stick figure drawings or advanced AI storyboard generator tools, just make sure that the vision is clear.
A lot of pre-production can be done prior to storyboarding, but having a script is the most common and most important. Beyond that, what follows might also help inform the storyboarding process:
- Location scout
- Budget
- Casting
- Hiring the crew, especially the cinematographer and production designer
The simplest way to do a storyboard requires only a pen and paper.
- Draw a series of empty rectangles
- Fill those frames with sketches that represent the different shots
- Use stick figures for your characters
