Before Boords, tracking feedback was a mess. With Boords we've got versioning, commenting, and presenting all in one place. It helps us with client communication so much.

Boords has drastically changed our workflow. Before, we spent so much time creating storyboards that we were happy to put in front of clients. Now everyone in our business can create storyboards that are visually pleasing. I can't recommend it enough.
Such a great tool. It helps us focus in what storyboards are for: presenting our ideas to clients, rather than dealing with the mess that comes with the back and forth!
From script to shot lists: plan every scene before you shoot
Keep your script and storyboard frames in sync throughout the pre-production process. Create storyboards with detailed shot lists, customize fields for your workflow, and make sure every camera angle is accounted for before you step on set.

Since we got Boords, we haven't looked back! We'd been working with custom PDF templates and we knew there had to be a better way, and we found it! It's intuitive, it's visually pleasing, and it's saved us a hell of a lot of time.
Boords helps us spend time on the creative, not the formatting. It's every creative's dream.
Making storyboards is a fun and creative process… until you need to shift some frames around! Boords is an excellent tool for letting you focus on your story while allowing for rapid changes as the creative process takes its inevitable twists and turns.

Before Boords, storyboarding was time-consuming and technical. Now I can focus exclusively on creative decisions and make my work better!
Boords automatically does the tedious work caused by rearranging frames of a storyboard. We can do more trial and error without stress and be more creative.

We built Boords because pre-production was broken
I'm James, founder of Boords. Before this, I co-founded Animade, an animation studio in London.
Back then, we built storyboards in Photoshop. Or Google Slides. Or InDesign. Whatever got the job done. But tracking versions was a nightmare. "FinalFinal_v3_USE_THIS.pdf"... you know the drill.
Client notes lived in email threads. Nobody could find the version we'd actually locked. Every storyboard looked different because we were rebuilding templates from scratch each time, manually reordering frames, fiddling with layouts. We'd waste hours on formatting instead of ideas.
So in 2015, I built the first version of Boords to fix it. Consistent boards every time. Notes in context, not buried in inboxes. One link to share, and no more guessing which version got approved.
11 years and over 2 million storyboards later, Boords is still independent, still small, and still built around one idea: pre-production should be where you do your best thinking, not where you lose hours to process.
