Comparison
A Boords Alternative
Boords is excellent at storyboarding. That is a different problem from getting through a shoot day.
Short answer
Boords is a strong storyboarding tool — if you need to visualise and share frames before you film, especially with a client, it does that well. Storeyz is not a storyboarding tool. It is for the part that comes after: turning a plan into a filmable list, grouping it for the day, and tracking what you have actually got.
When to choose something else
- Your main need is visualising and sharing frames before filming.
- You are pitching a concept to a client who needs to see it.
- You work in animation or VFX, where shots have to be designed rather than found.
- You want drawing and frame tools built in.
When Storeyz is the better fit
- Your problem is the shoot day, not the visualisation.
- You need the same list in story order and shoot order.
- You want on-location check-off.
- You run repeatable jobs where the framing is already understood.
Try it on your next shoot
Storeyz keeps your shots in story order for planning and regroups them by location for the day — then you tick them off on your phone as you get them.
