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.
This software is not about whether you can draw or not, but how you can plan and view what your actual equipment will capture. With ‘behind the scenes’ power and familiar controls, you’ll be empowered to experiment with its professional toolbox.
