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.
Without Boords storyboarding was the most painful part of the production process, with Boords it's the most painless. Super easy to use and speeds up the pre-production process immeasurably.

Shot List Software for Studios & Agencies
For studios and agencies juggling multiple client projects, shot lists shouldn't mean starting from scratch. Boords generates production-ready shot lists directly from your approved storyboards—frame numbers, shot types, descriptions, and notes all flow through automatically. No spreadsheets, no retyping, no version confusion. Your team gets a single source of truth that stays in sync with the storyboard, so last-minute client changes don't mean rebuilding your entire production plan.
Whether you're producing a brand film or a series of social ads, Boords adapts to how your team actually works. Share shot lists with your DP before the shoot, update them on set, and keep everyone aligned without emailing spreadsheets back and forth. When your storyboard and shot list live in the same place, handoffs get simpler and nothing falls through the cracks between pre-production and the shoot day. Planning a shoot by hand? Start from our free shot list template.
