The Plot Devices Storyboard Workbook is a departure away from all of the software and app-based storyboard programs that so many people are now using.
Maybe I’m just old, but I actually like having physical shot lists, scripts, and storyboards. I find that if they are app-based I forgot that I have them. I’m personally much more likely to carry around and use a physical version of something.
So what can you sketch, draw and write in the Storyboard Workbook?
Boards
Sketch your ideas on the fly, plan elaborate action sequences. In any case, make sense of your stick figures with the following fields on every storyboard:
- Shot Number
- Camera Support
- Description/Scene Action
- VFX
Setups
Make a plan for how to execute your vision on the day of your shoot by planning your setups at each of your locations ahead of time, with fields for the following:
- Floor Plan

Price
Each Storyboard Workbook is $24.99 USD. There is no sugar coating it, this is expensive when you compare it to a lot of similar apps, but if you are working on larger sized projects, this may be a suitable alternative. It’s also nice to have a physical memento of your project once it has been completed.
