Toon Boom Story board

摘要

Behind many a great feature film a storyboard exists to help previsualise what you will eventually see on screen. Traditionally this has been a non-digital activity, loosely sketched out on paper panel-by-panel. Toon Boom, already with a solid animation software pedigree, introduces Storyboard, which extends visual storytelling into the paperless world. However, getting there requires a steep learning curve. A clean and attractive interface, familiar enough to anyone who has ever used a graphics program, hides a multitude of options and settings. If you want to get the best out of storyboarding digitally, you'll need to spend some time learning the fundamentals. The ability to resize, rotate and move selections, use the cutter tools to create new from old, and add layers, text, sound and camera moves means the creative potential is huge.
