“Pencils are so… last year”

Storyboarding is a great tool for videographers and filmmakers to use in preparing for shoots. Some filmmakers use digital cameras to shoot photos in locations there they want to shoot and use stand-ins for actor positioning. I’ve been awaiting a mobile app for performing the basic functions of storyboarding and now, Hitchcock appears to have given me more than I had hoped for.
I’m anxious to give it a try. Here’s what their website says about their app:
Hitchcock is the worlds first mobile story boarding application. With Hitchcock you can have your first story board up and running in a matter of minutes. Hitchcock streamlines the process of storyboarding by allowing you to compose storyboards using photos rather than the tedious hand drawing process. This allows professionals and students to portray their vision to others in a easily controllable and transportable format.
It may be the first app over $2.99 I’ve paid for on my iPhone, but it looks like it could be well worth the price. I can put the plan together, then export it to a PDF to review or use on set.
Non-iPhone users may have more envy if this pans out as well as it looks. Take a look!
