Hi Alessandro and welcome.

I hadn’t heard of that software, so thanks for pointing it out to me. I’ll have to check it out more when I have more time. I usually storyboard for 2D, so I probably don’t have a use for it myself. But it looks interesting.

I wouldn’t worry about using that software (or ANY software for that matter) when you’re just starting out. Software doesn’t do the job. You do. So learn storytelling, acting, cutting, staging and everything else you need to before worrying about using storyboard software.

That’s one of the last things an employer would worry about.

Start with a pencil and paper first. It’s cheaper.

Hey Karen, just wanted to say thank you for a great for blog and some really useful info on storyboarding (i’m just trying to start out).

One of my friends works as a storyboard artist for a 3d animation company and has started using this redboard storyboarding software. Is that something you’ve ever used? I was wondering whether it was worth learning just in case an employer used it.

Thanks a lot and keep the posts coming !
Alessandro

@ flaviano – Of course I knew you would. Just have to say it anyway.

@ Mike S – You’re very welcome! I want to do more of these in the future. Glad you liked it.

@ Nathanael – Thanks so much! Always nice to hear people are finding value in the blog and learning something. Poke around the Archives and enjoy!

Even if it is a little neglected these days. I’m too busy DOING the thing I write about to write about it! Wah.

The whole blog? Holy moly!

Sure you can translate that post into Italian (cool!). As long I get full credit and a link back to my site, that would be totally fine.
