What is a Storyboard?
How Can a Team Collaborate Around Creately’s Storyboard Maker?
Team members can collaborate around a storyboard to develop a shared vision, figure out potential issues and to make sure that project goals are met. By working together, the creativity, teamwork and communication within the team can be strengthened.
-
Use Creately’s whiteboard and free-hand drawing capabilities to brainstorm with your team. Develop creative ideas for the storyboard together, share visions, and perspectives.
-
Develop the storyboard easily together with pre-made templates, frames, drag-and-drop shapes, color themes and much more. Sketch scenes, create visual aids, and organize the flow of the story.
-
While developing the storyboard, share the workspace with team members to provide feedback. Use in-line comments, @mentions, sticky notes, and shapes to give input and add contextual information. Discuss in comment threads, what works well, and what needs to improve.
-
Carry out discussions through Microsoft Teams, Google integrations to refine the storyboard, and to make sure that the final version meets the project goals and effectively communicates the desired message.
-
Use frames, shapes and advanced formatting options to create presentations for stakeholders and clients. The team can then work together to address any questions or concerns.
How to Collaborate on Creating a Storyboard with Your Team?
- Start with a clear goal and objective
Bring all your team members together for an initial meeting to define the objectives of your video or film, including the message or impression you are trying to convey. Think about the audience you are trying to capture, and how you can do that with your film or video.
Make sure everyone in the team understands and agrees with the purpose, overall concept, goals and target audience of the video/film. Once the team has decided on the direction, decide on how long the video or film should be.
- Brainstorm ideas
As a team, brainstorm different ideas and concepts for the storyboard. Encourage all team members to participate, consider different perspectives and narrow down ideas. Use Creately’s integrated conferencing and built-in whiteboard facilities to carry out brainstorming sessions effectively. Dot vote to select the most suitable idea to move forward with.
- Plan the storyboard
Once the team has narrowed down the best idea, start planning the overall structure of the storyboard, including the layout, the number of frames, and the flow of the story.
Select a storyboard template from Creately’s extensive gallery, or create your own by styling shapes and formats, importing images and using creative color palettes. Start sketching the shots in each box with Creately’s freehand drawing option, or import clip-art or illustration to visually explain the scenes.
- Assign tasks
As the next step, divide the work related to the storyboard and assign tasks to team members. These tasks include creating initial visual designs or assets, writing dialogues, developing scripts, and outlining key scenes.
Assign tasks to each team member via the task panel and easily track the progress. Use smart notifications to see any changes to the workspace.
- Hold regular meetings
Schedule regular meetings to check in on progress, provide feedback, and make any necessary changes. Encourage team members to communicate freely and openly to share their thoughts and ideas.
- Get feedback
Share the storyboard with stakeholders or clients via email or invite links to ensure that the storyboard aligns with their overall goals and objectives. You can also opt to download the storyboard as a PNG, SVG, JPEG or PDF to share. If sharing the workspace with clients and stakeholders, ask them to provide feedback easily through in-line commenting or by using @mentions to direct their queries to the responsible party.
- Review and edit
Once you receive feedback, make the necessary changes, and then review the storyboard as a team. Make sure everyone is on the same page before finalizing.
