Storyboard Software vs. Hand-Drawn Storyboards

[trevorsgal]

Hi, I'm storyboarding my first film. Any software out there used for storyboarding? I'm pretty good at drawing and was going to hand draw my shots, then scan them into my computer.
I thought there might be an easier way. I appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thanks greatly!

Umm the storyboard programs I know of are 3D... so it still requires just as much work as drawing them. The advantage, on the other hand, is that you're able to play out your scenes in 3D to see what it will look like on film... BUT trust me it's faster to draw them... Best thing you can do is make yourself nice looking Storyboard templates... so at least you'll be organized.

So Good luck, HOPE to see some of your work soon!

StoryBoard Quick is a good 2D storyboarding software; if you want 3D, you should check out StoryBoard Artist. Both are really fast and easy.

It seems to be that there are limits to software but that it might be a big help for someone that can't draw at all, I guess. There are no limits to the pencil. It seems like you take away the opportunity for some creativity when you limit yourself to using only software for your story boards.
