House of Cool’s first big break came from Nelvana. They both worked together to develop a pre-production platform, which would allow them to focus on digital storyboards and designs. It was with Nelvana that they were introduced to Toon Boom and its array of software capabilities.

Toon Boom, primarily Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, has allowed us to develop creative story in an efficient manner without sacrificing quality in our boards" continued Wesley.
