Boords started as a conversation over a burger. Myself and childhood friend – and fellow founder of animation studio, Animade – Tom Judd, were bemoaning the painstaking process of formatting and editing storyboards, and wondering why on earth there wasn’t an easier way. Then the thought struck us – why don’t we make one?
Twelve months later, Boords has been helping creatives the world over save time, hassle and the occasional desire to break a computer. Boords is a web-based story boarding app that makes it easy to create perfect storyboards quickly and easily. For us, it was the beginning of the end of those familiar old pain points of copying, pasting and renumbering every time an edit was needed, and it’s been a pleasure to see how it’s becoming a game changer for the wider world of story boarders too.
And it really is for anyone who needs to make storyboards, in whatever field. Having originally built Boords with animators and filmmakers in mind, we’ve been blown away by the amazing range of industries who’ve made it part of their workflow, including advertisers, UX designers, documentary makers, teachers, writers… even space agencies.
This year, with the latest additions of an in-app drawing tool and support for working in teams, Boords has taken its next big leap forward.
Here’s a rundown of how it all works, and what you can get out of it.
