Film/Video Storyboard Software
Storyboard software for motion picture production is designed to enable advanced visualization of the film or video project before the actual shooting takes place. By going beyond the classic technique of pen and paper storyboarding, storyboard software will incorporate still images and small media files. Advanced storyboard software should take into account planned camera set-ups and only present scene views that are possible to achieve.
FrameForge Previz Studio 3 software enables you to create a virtual 3D set on your computer to explore and find the very best image for each story beat.

Production Boards and Strips
A traditional production board is a cardboard chart holding color-coded strips of paper, each containing information about a scene in the script. Production strips are then laid out sequentially to represent the scene order that the Assistant Director (AD) will schedule the film.
