About:
Wonder Unit Storyboarder is a free, open-source tool for creating animated storyboards with remarkable speed and ease. It allows artists to visualize scenes using simple drawing tools, including a unique 'stick figure' mode for rapid blocking of shots. The software provides advanced features like an integrated 2D/3D character poser and a shot generator, streamlining the pre-production workflow for filmmakers and animators.
Key Features:
  • Rapid drawing and stick figure posing for quick story blocking
  • Integrated 3D character poser and shot generator for staging scenes
  • Non-linear timeline and storyboard editor with audio support
  • Open-source and cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux)
Use Cases:
  • Storyboarding for live-action films and animation projects
  • Pre-visualizing shots and planning camera angles
  • Creating animatics and pitch decks
Alternatives:
  • Storyboard Pro – Paid, industry-standard software with more advanced animation features but a steeper learning curve and higher cost
  • Celtx – Cloud-based scriptwriting and storyboarding suite with collaborative tools, but requires a subscription
