I know many were listed and you really don't need any others, but here's a simple idea i'm going to steal from Freddie Wong on youtube. Freddiew on youtube has a second channel where he posted a video showing his type of story board. He actually does a rough cut of the entire thing sometimes.. If you have the ability definitely try it out! I'll put a link up below to his video.

His technique he has works when you have prior access to all the places.. just like photos but added blocking and such.. You get the idea.. It's actually really clever cause you can go through and pick it apart..

anyways without any more ranting here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOD0Uyk_etQ

In my opinion, I would waste a lot of time trying to learn a software program, so I would stick with the stick figures.
Also, holy moly, nice hookups Film Riot gave in this one. I'd use squarespace, but I have nothing to say... yet, but the jack thread thing might come in handy

Ok, I'm not so sure if I got this. (Never lined a script before) 1A is the first shot, which includes everything, and 1B with Squiggly Squiggly line, is when the camera cuts to the actor speaking. Is that every actor in the scene speaking?

Also, when the next scene comes up, will it now be 2A or would it be 2B? I could just be making more complicated that it really is but I just want to make sure I understand. Thank you for your help!

Hi Ryan,

There is a free storyboard software called Celtx an can be found here:

http://www.celtx.com/index.html#/des...av-screenshots.

The software developer describes their software as:

"Celtx is the world's first all-in-one media pre-production system. It replaces 'paper & binder' pre-production with a digital approach that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share."

Hopefully this will help you produce (even) better videos. ;-)
