3D storyboarding software for film, video, advertising, and games.

Storyboard Lite is a 2D/3D visualization software package created for maximizing the productivity and quality of the storyboard creation process.

Storyboards are sequential images used to tell a story before filmmakers, game developers or advertising agencies spend millions on their final content. Storyboarding has been the backbone of film development for decades and until now there have been very few attempts to improve upon the method of drawing storyboard panels by hand.

When visualizing a film you want to be as accurate, creative and as fast as possible. Zebra Development developed a software package that can handle all those needs.

Not only can traditional artists import, organize and modify their hand drawn storyboards, but boards can also be created in three-dimensions using a large expandable library of props and characters included with the software.

The 3D capabilities of Storyboard Lite allow would-be directors to easily change a panel’s camera view by moving a virtual camera around anywhere within the scene. No need to re-draw a panel ever again!

The software lets you import a screenplay and automatically breaks it down into scenes within your project. Artists can then storyboard knowing their boards and screenplay are always in sync.
