What is an 18-panel storyboard template?

A storyboard is a sequence of drawings that shows how your film will look, shot by shot. This 18 panel template provides the smallest panels for maximum overview, along with space to note camera moves, dialogue and action beside each frame.

Why do I need a storyboard?

Storyboarding helps you test ideas before you spend time and money on set. It helps you communicate your vision to the director of photography, actors and crew, plan coverage and spot problems early. You do not need to be a skilled artist, as simple sketches, stick figures and notes work well.

When should I use an 18-panel layout?

Choose this layout for big-picture planning, long sequences and rough visual outlines of an entire scene. In practice, eighteen panels per page give you the highest density, perfect for quickly mapping long sequences or an entire scene on one sheet.
