there's a bunch of them out there, I'm not a fan of any of them to be honest.... I think the interesting alternative methods are using the unreal engine.

Also my favorite method - photographs. I will write up a list of shots - stick figure sometimes... but then just shoot a whole scene with friends in few minutes... you just shift them around - then take them into photoshop (or photoshop elements or whatever) and then sketch out location backgrounds if your backgrounds didn't represent what ou wanted.

Have you seen the Hollywood Camera Moves video tutorials?

I got a lot out of these video tuts. It does look like hoky poser work, but after you watch them, you'll know a lot more about camera work which is really what storyboards are all about. A map for the camera work.

Just thought I'd mention them because in those DVD tutorials they claim that storyboards are not that usefull in actually making television with dialog. They say that storyboards are mainly used to "sell" the concept or map out an effect but become tedious for mapping out dialog for a dialog driven scene.

Now when I watch shows or movies, all I ever see are the red man and the blue women forming their over-the-shoulder two-shot.
