Storyboards to go!
Posted on Monday March 12, 2007 by Betsy Weber
Remember way back here when I blogged about storyboarding your screencasts?
I was hanging out at a bookstore the other day and found something really fab! I'm addicted to these Moleskine notebooks for many reasons (thick paper, nice pocket, etc). So, I was really happy to see that they now make a storyboard notebook! Plus, it's the perfect size little notebook to jam in your pocket or backpack so you're always ready to scribble down your screencast and movie ideas.
Or, hack a regular Moleskine notebook and add the storyboard frames yourself. There's an article and instructions here. Looks pretty easy and there's a PDF template.
And, if you'd like a free storyboard, I uploaded the storyboard template that we use at work here and here.
I also found a neat video showing how an illustrator uses a Moleskine notebook to storyboard. Wish my storyboards looked that good! See the video below.
What tools have you found to help you with your screencasts?

These storyboards you posted look very handy. Any chance of getting them in Word format so we edit right on the page? Thanks

I picked up a book that is about film directing but half of the book is about storyboarding. The book is full of examples and I think would be useful for someone who is using video (including screencasting).
"film directing shot by shot" by steven d. katz
ISBN 0-941188-10-8
I picked mine up at Barnes and Noble but you can find it on Amazon.

The links to the storyboard templates are broken. I'd really like to see them!
