A simple storyboard editor - Storyteller

Krita’s new Storyboard Docker helps you prepare storyboards for animations and other multi-media projects [1].

If you want to visually create and narrate a story, a storyboard is an essential tool. Artists use storyboards in film, dance, comic strips, animations, and more. StudioPigeon [2] describes a storyboard as a visual representation of your story’s narrative flow, scene by scene, drawn as simply as possible without using colors, backgrounds, character design, soundtracks, or any other details that you add later after the storyboard has been accepted.

A storyboard offers the quickest and easiest way to provide an overview of your story, check if it makes sense, and share it with others. Storyboards are used in creating all but the very simplest visual stories because they minimize the risk of wasting a lot of time – and possibly even money – due to confusion or misunderstanding.

A storyboard is essentially just a progression of images, which means that one could create a storyboard with any slideshow software; however, Krita's storyboard feature offers some benefits over a conventional presentation tool. First of all, a storyboard lets you predefine a “plot” for the story or presentation in a format that you can later develop and even animate. A Krita storyboard is also a good way to learn how to use Krita. You can share a visual description of what you want to achieve and then use that description to seek advice from teammates or Krita experts.
