Storyboard.com Webiste

http://www.storyboardthat.com/

After exploring this website and watching the intoductory video, the webiste's purpose is to create a storyboard in a fast and easy way. It is also used to share and express ideas and to tell a story in a fun and simple way.
This is the step by step explanation of how to use the website:
Step 1: To start your own storyboard just click on an icon that says Create a Storyboard.
Step 2: If you are doing a video or a play for a class project the best thing to organize the events is by creating a storyboard. The first step to use this website is choose where you plot of the story will take place. After you have chosen the setting just drag it into the panel. If you want to rotate the image or change the size just click on it and a yellow box will appear.
Step 3: After choosing the setting choose the characters they offer in the website and just drag them into the panel. There are many avatars you can choose from. Some are black and white, others are stick men, etc. If you want to adjust the character's size, position, etc.,  just click on it and a little box will appear with all the tools you need.
Step 4: Once you are done adjusting the characters and the setting to your own taste or style, click on the word that says textables. This is the place you choose the bubble where you will write what your character wants to say. To adjust the text size or the bubble itself once again click on it and the famous yellow box will appear.
Step 5: In case you want revert something you added that you didn't want in a specific panel just click the on the word undo below the panels. If you deleted something you wanted you click on redo also located under the panels.
Step 6: If you at any chance want more panels just click on soemthing that says switch to 6 panels.
Step 7: If you by any chance want to start again the whole thing just click clear all located under your panels.
Step 8: Once you are done with your project or storyboard just click on the save button that is located under your panels. A box will appear requesting the title and a despcription which is optional. Write in the title and click save.
Step 9: If you didn't like what you saved or need to edit it, just click on the edit icon or if you want to delete the project just click on the delete icon.
Step 10: Finally if you want to start a new storyboard just click on the icon that says Create a Sotryboard, or if you want a copy of your project just click on Create a Copy.
This is an example of my very lame Storyboard......


Students in the class might want to use this as a way to create a comic in quick and fun way.
