whether it’s a thrilling scene a fun social media ad or a big National Commercial every project needs some good planning to look awesome and keep people hooked hey there I’m Brandon with Studio binder in this video we’ll cover how to create a storyboard at images arrows and how to share your work and collaborate with others let’s jump in and get started here we have a scene I’m working on for my project titled Voyage of the Aurora the artwork you see here was provided by a storyboard artist I hired I’ve just received some new frames so let’s add those in one of my favorite features on the storyboard page is the frame tagging feature this lets me select a section of the script to automatically make a new frame on the storyboard making it super quick to add the extra frames I need pairing specific shots with specific lines makes sure we cover the whole scene and helps to see everything more clearly now that I have the frames added I can drag and drop the art from my artist but if they’d sent me physical drawings Studio binder’s webcam feature lets me upload images directly like this now I have my completed storyboard sequence that I can share with my team to show my vision and get feedback from my cinematographer and first ad sharing in studio binder is a breeze you can easily invite collaborators by entering their name and email address and adjust their access view or comment only if you don’t want them making any changes or full edit permission if you want to share the workload film making is all about teamwork and there’s no faster way to get things done than by working together now not every project needs art from a storyboard artist or it might not fit in the budget with plenty of stock image sites or images downloaded from the internet you can quickly upload all the images at once to start building your storyboard these images don’t just have to be placeholders adding reference images that match the style or tone you’re going for can spark inspiration and collaboration while they may not be exactly what you’re aiming for reference images are a great starting point to get you your team and your clients on the same page and with the ability to generate custom storyboard PDFs you’ll walk into any production meeting looking prepared and professional and if your project doesn’t have a script you can create Standalone story boards for example I recently shot an ad for a bar introducing a new drink which was unscripted so I created a storyboard on the custom list tab of the storyboard page I did a location scout at the bar and took photos that I then used as reference images for my storyboard which you can see here the great thing about modern production is that most of us carry great cameras in our pockets I use my cell phone to take images during pre-production all the time using studiob binder’s image editing feature I added storyboard arrows and annotations to really push across what I’m going for arrows are great for showing camera or subject movement in a still image this gives me a clear road map for shooting saving time and offering the client a visual idea of the final ad and since it’s all digital you can experiment to get the exact framing movement or other details you want always having the option to go back to the original image no matter what type of production you’re working on storyboards are a super useful tool in the pre-production process and with Studio binder storyboard feature you’ll be visualizing and filming in no time well that’s a wrap on how to build a storyboard I’m Brandon with Studio binder thank you for watching and we’ll see you in the next one
