Storyboarding

As mentioned in class, there are some options for you as far as free apps and storyboarding.

Meet CELTX:

Free Scriptwriting and All In One Production Studio

Free Screenwriting Download for Windows and Mac 
(this is an excellent resource for writing screenplays and planning out your scripts)
I recommend if you have not already become comfortable with Adobe Story to download the free CELTX script writing software.  Whatever you create on the desktop/laptop program can be synced to your android or i-device (when you have the appropriate apps). 

Celtx has apps for both Android and i-devices.  Although the scriptwriting app (Script) is $4.99 for i-devices, it is completely free for Android devices.  Celtx Script provides an easy way to format your screenplays and it will allow you to save to the cloud if needed so you can access the file from anywhere.


Celtx Shots:

iTunes App for quick and easy STORYBOARDING
(This is actually pretty cool and it a quick, free way to storyboard for those of you who can't draw well)

Unfortunately, there is not an Android app for Shots.  It is only for your i-device and Macs.

There are also Celtx Sides (for scheduling and planning) and and Celtx Scout (for location scouting).  Both can be useful to any filmmaker during pre-production.
