 Toon Boom Animation announced the release of Toon Boom
Storyboard, the storyboarding system for visual storytelling,
perfectly suited to traditional and paperless methods.
Truly completing the animation pipeline, Storyboard helps users take an idea and translate it into a visual story that will become a complete animation. Developed in conjunction with expert storyboard artists, Toon Boom Storyboard speeds up production planning and enables studios to reach new heights with increased production integration. Its advanced features make it the tool of choice to create an entirely digital storyboard.
Toon Boom Storyboard provides:
* Flexible layer-based panel display with motion camera capabilities
* Complete set of drawing tools, including pressure-sensitive brush tool when using a digital graphic tablet and pen
* Customizable caption fields to insert fully searchable textual content, such as scene descriptions and comments
* Advanced timeline to control timing and automatically generate an animatic with sound tracks and transitions between shots
* Real-time animatic creation with dynamic camera moves
* Extensive export capabilities, including printing, image sequences, and Harmony/Opus, EDL, SWF and QuickTime file formatting.
"Toon Boom Storyboard is a must-have tool not only for storyboard artists but also for directors and producers. On one hand, it offers advanced drawing capabilities in an elegant panel window layout and the ability to preview the animatic in real-time with dynamic camera moves. On the other, Toon Boom Storyboard brings the production pipeline integration one step further by enabling producers to review and shuffle unlimited panels digitally and maximize the use of their existing assets", shared Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toon Boom.
Availability:
Toon Boom Storyboard is now available as an Early Access Program to all animation studios using Toon Boom Harmony and Opus. The commercial release meets the needs of all production types-whether 2D animation, 3D animation or live action-is scheduled for August 1st, 2006, and will be launched at SIGGRAPH 2006. http://www.toonboom.com
