Combine Digital Photos with Graphics in Storyboards using Masking Tool

The art of storyboarding has come a long way since the days of needing big budgets and an aptitude for drawing. Software applications like StoryBoard Quick have made it possible for directors, producers, writers and creatives, who have a keen cinematic vision, to use the technology around them to both communicate visually and plan production shots in no time.

Today a great asset is digital photography. The ability to snap a location photo and use it in your pitches, shots and storyboards has been revolutionary for directors. But what about those photos where there’s an item in the photo that you’d like to use, but you don’t want all the extras. For example, you’d like to use a specific shot of a car or an actor. Well, in the past, this would require some keen compositing skills, but now StoryBoard Quick and makes it incredibly easy with the new MASKING TOOL .

StoryBoard Quick’s Masking tool is a new feature that make it possible for you to extract an image from within another image. Another way to think about it is the ability to cleanly isolate one (or more) parts of a pre-existing image.

Now you can take a digital shot on the street or find an image online and use the intuitive Masking Tool,  to  trace what you’d like to use and block out the rest.
The new Masking Tool gives you the freedom to incorporate anything and everything into your storyboards!

Check out this quick and easy tutorial video on how the new Masking Tool works and then give it a try for yourself in the new StoryBoard Quick 6.1.

Visual Screenwriting Competition

Visaul ScriptwritingPowerProduction is proud to be sponsoring the Center for Visual Education’s First Annual Visual Screenwriting Competition!
We know that when you pre-visualize your screenplay it not only makes for a better end result, but it will help you become a better cinematic writer. Visuals are the language of cinema and the old adage of “show don’t tell” is never more applicable than when it comes to engaging a viewer.
The Center for Visual Education is holding a contest looking for the best visual screenplay in a number of cinematic genres. We always say a picture is worth a thousand words…now it may be worth a $1000 bucks! First place in the VisEd competition is 1k and a copy of PowerProduction’s elite storyboard software application StoryBoard Artist Studio. Additional prizes include $500 and StoryBoard Quick storyboard software…just for creating and sharing your visual screenplay in a number of categories. As they say, “Got to be in it, to win it.”  (Deadline May 31, 2013)
