Storyboard Software Choice

All that talk about sequencing your storyboard and we forgot to discuss storyboard basics. So here's the scoop. You could likely use any of the more popular desktop publishing programs you like but a couple of things to think about are; is the program you will use familiar to everyone contributing to the build process, and does this software accommodate text, graphics, an outline and have a provision for an audio script? If not, here's my advice. As much as I hate Microsoft software, Powerpoint is a good choice for storyboarding because it allows you to sequence your slides to match your Flash screens with it's outline view. At the same time you can see your actual slide and related master template graphics and additionally, the notes view provides the perfect place for audio scripts and vendor notes. So there you are, two tips and we just started this blog.

Good luck.
