Using Storyline to storyboard projects
At last week's workshop with Charity Learning, we talked about storyboarding courses and the formats available to designers.
It doesn't matter at all how designers choose to write and storyboard ...
After seeking a proper format that would allow me to work with a Storyboard and also provide me with the ability to create rapid prototyping without working on multiple documents. I came up with a solution that takes only a few minutes and creates a mash-up of the best of both worlds.
This solution involves adding a couple of boxes and doing one modification to the canvas (story size) at the beginning of the project and reversing it at the end of the project. This would work with a template or just by simply copying and pasting a few boxes.
You can customize it to use as many boxes as you want, and you could even add some at the bottom or the top (not both).
Remember that the advantage of this is that at the end with a couple of clicks your project is ready to export. So you are basically working on your project and the storyboard boxes are discarded at the end or they can stay there for future reference but they won't get published.
Here is a shot of the published Word document that will serve me as storyboard, and I am attaching the specific instructions on how to proceed.
