Boords has drastically changed our workflow. Before, we spent so much time creating storyboards that we were happy to put in front of clients. Now everyone in our business can create storyboards that are visually pleasing. I can't recommend it enough.

…get every video approved by clients
Boords is an essential part of our workflow. The ability to share our storyboards with clients gives them the opportunity to visualise the project earlier, give feedback and be assured the project is heading in the right direction. Thanks Boords!
We are great fans of Boords. Easy to use, intuitive and flexible, it's the perfect tool for the biggest part of a video production! From script to animatic, we can shape and collaborate on ideas then share them with our clients so they're fully understood.
Shimano is a global company and our English-language scripts need approval from stakeholders in Japan and Europe. Boords visually presents script concepts with colleagues whose first language isn't English.

Boords has become a vital part of our workflow. We love how easy it is to create storyboards, collaborate on them, and get feedback from clients. It has made our studio more efficient, more productive, and happier!
Boords helps us streamline the storyboarding process and makes it easy to produce storyboards the way we want to. Our clients can provide feedback easily and it's effortless for us to make changes as needed, letting us focus on the creative!
Boords has made it so much easier and quicker for us to create storyboards and share them with clients. It has massively improved our ability to collaborate, respond to feedback, and deliver greater value.
We wanted to make our clients' experience as smooth and easy as possible. Boords helped us to make the storyboarding process (one of the essential processes!) intuitive, convenient and transparent for our clients.
Before Boords, we used a makeshift storyboard template, which proved frustrating. Boords has sped up our workflow and client feedback, in turn allowing a more seamless experience with our production process. Life before Boords < Life after Boords.
Boords allows our creative team, & our clients to see exactly where we're up to. When we send clients a Boords link, they use it and love it - so we love it too.
Before Boords, creating and sharing storyboards with clients was painful. Boords has positively changed our workflow since day one.
Such a great tool. It helps us focus in what storyboards are for: presenting our ideas to clients, rather than dealing with the mess that comes with the back and forth!
…track every version and comment
Boords makes it easy to keep track of versions, make revisions in an efficient way, and makes the storyboarding process more collaborative. It's the type of tool that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
With Boords we've got everything in one place. Versioning, commenting, presenting. It helps us with the client communication so much. Before Boords, tracking feedback was a mess.
Finding Boords was one of those moments of pure delight, I can’t imagine completing storyboards in any other way now, and it’s only getting better and better. Collaborating, keeping on top of version & the speed at what you can work is game changing
Revisions, new versions, sharing to clients… Before Boords, storyboarding was plain messy. Now, workflows are faster and easier than ever before.
Storyboarding is all about making versions as close to the final animation, without too much effort. Boords is simply the best solution for this. It’s easy, it’s fast, it’s collaborative, it’s effective.
Boords allows us to keep all our storyboards in one place. It's also very easy to add review notes to share with our design team right inside Boords, which streamlines communication.
Making storyboards is a fun and creative process… until you need to shift some frames around! Boords is an excellent tool for letting you focus on your story while allowing for rapid changes as the creative process takes its inevitable twists and turns.
When storyboarding, you need it to be painless to fail and correct until you hit bullseye. Boords provides the amount of flexibility that allows you to concentrate solely on the story. I think that's what I love most about Boords.
Storyboards are constantly in need of minor and sometimes major changes. The flexibility and consistency that Boords adds to the process is priceless.

…help their team work together
Because multiple team members can work in Boords at once, and because clients can add their comments directly into the storyboards, we save a lot of time and reduce the chances of errors.
I can't picture our video process without Boords. It makes sharing and collaborating on storyboards feel simple and polished for both first-time clients and experienced team members.
Our studio runs on Boords. We can quickly draw up ideas, add in a script, receive real-time feedback and rapidly iterate changes. Everything is one place so there’s no need to email files back and forth. It’s really a game changer.
Boords is so intuitive and integrated that it massively helps us streamline our storyboarding process, saving us from faffing around. We also have members of the team who work remotely and working in Boords really helps keep us all closer together.
Without Boords storyboarding was the most painful part of the production process, with Boords it’s the most painless. Super easy to use, brilliantly collaborative with both our teams and our clients, and speeds up the pre-production process immeasurably.
We tried all the storyboarding tools out there. Boords ended up as our preferred choice because of its straight forward approach, light weight interface and streamlined remote collaboration features.
Boords made storyboarding faster, flexible and above all, easy to collaborate on. It's adding so much value to the ultimate goal of bringing stories to life.
Boords has fundamentally changed how we create, share and collaborate on storyboards. It's been an absolute godsend.

Once we'd moved the copy and illustrations to Boords' software, our writers and designers began making suggestions so much faster.

…spend more time on the creative
Boords helps us create a consistent look and feel for all our boards, and saves our art directors from wasting time futzing with layouts. It helps us spend time on the creative, not the formatting. It's every creative's dream.
Since we got Boords, we haven’t looked back! We’d been working with custom PDF templates and we knew there had to be a better way, and we found it! It’s intuitive, it’s visually pleasing, and it’s saved us a hell of a lot of time.
We've literally cut our storyboarding time in half. This is an absolute game-changer for creative output across the agency.

Before Boords, storyboarding was time-consuming and technical. Now I can focus exclusively on creative decisions and make my work better!
Boords has turned the tedious task of storyboarding into a fluid and fun process for our team. Most importantly, it allows us to better focus on developing and refining great stories for our clients.
Boords completely changes the amount of work needed to make a storyboard. It makes our lives so much easier by providing an organised process that allows us to focus on the creativity.
Boords automatically does the tedious work caused by rearranging frames of a storyboard. We can do more trial and error without stress and be more creative.
We used to waste hours creating storyboards in Photoshop - now we create them in minutes with Boords. Couldn't live without it.
Boords is intuitive, responsive and easy-to-use. It has become an essential part of our workflow. It's easy to design storyboard frames, make edits on the fly and it has a ton of useful features that make the storyboarding process an absolute dream!
Storyboarding used to involve a lot of menial, repetitive tasks. Boords eliminates those so we can focus on the fun, creative parts of the process.
Gone are the days where we had to download storyboard templates and manually layout our drawings, only to incur countless hours later in revision. Boords is an elegant software that forever revolutionised how we do storyboards at Big 3.
My professional life is divided in two parts: pre-Boords and post-Boords.
