hey everyone...

i'm trying to raise some funds for a project i have been working on for a while...

in the process of pre-production, i did a lot of storyboarding, but could never find a decent 16x9 template...

as i created my own and am now selling them in notebook form. check the out at www.boy9productions.com...
i've used them for a few things and they are really handy for keeping things organized. i even had one on a recent shoot to better illustrate my ideas to my dp.

thanks for your time!

Not sure how hard you searched, as I came up with that in about 2 minutes with Google, and also not sure people would want to pay $15 for something they can print for free themselves. But the effort is appreciated...

That's generally the entire point of storyboards. Personally I think students would benefit greatly from using them more often, oftentimes it's just "hey let's go out and shoot Joe dancing to rap music."

I use the Moleskine storyboard notebooks: http://www.mojolondon.co.uk/stationery/moleskine/pocket...toryboard_pocket.htm

A little expensive, but you get what you pay for. These things are quality.

i found the moleskin notebook well made, but too small...

and a key point in my post is that ALL the profits made from the sales go directly towards funding my project... so its a way to get your hands on a useful tool and support fellow filmmakers...

i have downloaded templates on the internet before, but i wantd to have a notebook handy at all times... i was on vacation and had an idea... and no access to a computer and printer to get it out of my head and onto paper...

it's a matter of convenience...

I think it's a useful thing to have. My only complain would be the giant notes column. I'd prefer the sheets to have six boxes.

Fair enough ...

... but it sounds like a small notebook is precisely what you're looking for.

i created the notebook exactly as i wanted it...

the screens are big enough to add as much details as i wanted... i found some of the smaller versions were difficult to draw in...

the notes column is big enough to add whatever relative information i need... if even just to label the shots and write a brief description...

the pages are bound so i can keep my ideas together and easily refer back and forth between them...

i think its a good product and something i use on a regular basis... it might not be exactly what you guys are looking for... but it could a useful tool nonetheless...
