Toon Boom Animation Inc. has released Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, a digital storyboarding software solution for films, gaming, advertising and animation projects. The entirely paperless process is designed to save directors and producers significant time and costs, while also saving a few trees in the process.
Key features of Storyboard Pro include a true WYSIWYG, multi-layer drawing engine that mimics the traditional storyboarding process using a graphic tablet and pen compatible with Tablet PC for Windows and Vista, as well as Mac Intel. The release also offers simultaneous animatic creation (complete with complex camera moves), pre-production management functions and total pipeline integration with AAF, CSV, PSD and PDF file format support.
“We are pleased to release such an advanced storyboarding software that will cater to content creators of all styles, being live-action or animation,’ says Toon Boom president and CEO Joan Vogelesang. ‘As a green product, Storyboard Pro reduces significantly the need to use paper, especially at the pre-production level, which involves several rounds of idea generation, corrections and approval. All can be done digitally and efficiently.”
Toon Boom Storyboard Pro carries a suggested retail price of $899.99, but is being offered at the launch special price of $799.99. The product is now available online at www.toonboom.com/products/storyboardpro, and will be showcased during MIPTV at booth C1.05, and at NAB at booth SL2622.
