r/Storyboarding

AI has been a major disrupter of the art-form, and regardless of how do you feel about it and it's place in the industry, is this sub the right place for people to share their AI work or solutions?

I feel this is a space to discus the craft side of storyboarding not a showcase for alternatives to human labor or a platform for those chasing the AI gold rush. It's really depressing to see posts trying to provide AI solutions that are ment to replace storyboard artists to a community of storyboard artists.

Even if AI eventually gets adapted as part of the workflow, there is still lots of nuance to the craft, and a set of trained and skilled eyes is essential to produce quality work. Jumping straight to AI robs artist of gaining that experience and developing these skills.

What do you guys think?

Sean teaches animation in the UK, in particular Harmony. This is a particularly in depth look at ToonBoom’s current issues, including delving into userbase numbers and ethical issues surrounding Ember. So of course it’s hard to see someone who actively teaches it having to document the current problems.

I work in boards as a freelancer and have been increasingly unhappy with ToonBoom ever since they forced Mac owners to pay for the M-chip series upgrade. They shifted to a strange “support” subscription model and also the updates seemed far lesser than in previous iterations.

I’m hoping someone else picks up the slack in boards but we do see more people picking up the wonderful Moho. Let’s hope Moho stay great - and also start with some storyboard solutions…

Is there a good website where I can find freelance storyboard artists? Not for a film / tv project, but would like map out user journey of a product.

If possible with the help of AI.

Talk I gave a bit ago! Hope you like it. It talks a bit about the history of storyboards, how incredibly prevalent they are, and how much work in the majority of acclaimed Directors, and what they're actually about.

Every art form thrives on iteration. "Fixing it in post" isn't a good solution, it's a hack. Fix it in Pre.

Hey storyboard artists!

I’m creating an all-in-one storyboard tool for storyboard artists, directors, and creative teams called BoardHouse. I would love any advice or opinions from people who actually make storyboards.

We started building it because storyboards always seem to end up scattered across Google Slides, PDFs, emails, notes, and different feedback threads. It gets messy fast, especially when you’re trying to keep everything organized and easy to update.

The current version is more geared toward commercial directors. Right now, you can upload boards, organize sequences, add notes, collaborate with your team, share review links, collect feedback, and export clean decks.

But we want to shift the focus more toward making BoardHouse a useful all-in-one tool for storyboard artists too.

We’re still in the early phase of development and really want to build this with your input!

For storyboard artists, what would you want to see in an all-in-one storyboard tool? What would make your workflow easier?

We would genuinely love any feedback or feature ideas.
