Creaza is a free multimedia editing and creation web tool that allows mindmapping, cartooning webcomics/storyboarding films as well as having an audio and movie editor. Registration is required and I decided to give it a test run. It’s fairly simple to figure out and you are able to upload your own files too. The main downside is that you can’t download or export your files with the free version (but you are able to send the links). Included below is an introduction video.
It’s quite amazing what apps are available for the iPhone now. Check this out from Cinemek and view some of their other tutorial videos for it via their Vimeo link below:
“Hitchcock is the first of our suite of iphone apps. It is currently available in the iTunes app store (itunes.com/apps/hitchcock). In case you are curious, this is how it works.”
A storyboard is a sequence of images and words drawn together on a page to form a plausible narrative. Storyboards are routinely used in the movie making business to ‘preview’ a movie before a single shot is taken. Not only does a storyboard allow for a dress rehearsal of the final product but by the very fact of being posted on the wall,it elicits early feedback and encourages quick, painless editing, leading to significant savings in time and resources. Disney was a storyboarding freak! A storyboard is an apt metaphor for how we make sense of our own life history. Storyboarding can be used to sense emergent patterns in our own life story and to envision the life experiences that we wish to welcome into our future.
