Storyboard Fountain

Storyboard software that allows anyone to visualize a screenplay as fast they can draw stick figures. Even as they write the script, they can quickly visualize to test if a scene works, show animatics to others, and use it as an essential tool in the writing process. Storyboarding allows you to make your movie, without the cost of making a movie.
