AMAZING!
That is the word I would use to describe the Toon Boom Storyboard program. I have been producing storyboards for over 18 years, and the Toon Boom program is the best I have ever worked with. I most recently produced storyboards for a live action feature, where I was able to swim through ten pages of script a day with this program. Adding text alone used to take so much time and now, it is a breeze to do so. If I had had this program when I was the Storyboard Supervisor on FOX TV′s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, my very talented team would have had much more time to think of storytelling and shots to draw rather than finding pages and physically Scotch taping text onto the storyboards.
I am often asked to speak at schools, and now I can do some very exciting demonstrations for the students, instead of just passing around paper storyboards the size of phone books. I am currenty working on my next short film, and I will definitely be using Toon Boom Storyboard and Toon Boom Animate exclusively.
