In the article Scriptwriting and Storyboarding Software Buy’s Guide I started reading it wondering if the program Celtx that I have been using for this class was a good program to use, or if there were any other programs that might be free that would be good to look into. But as I was reading the article it mentioned Celtx a few times and mentioned that it was a great program to use for freelance things, and it allowed a lot more program capabilities than other programs (that you need to pay for) offer. The article talks about how different programs might be good for certain people. One example they gave was that Script Wizard is similar to Microsoft Word and people who enjoy Microsoft Word might enjoy that type of program opposed to programs such as Celtx and Final Draft. It also talks about how many people like to jot down their ideas as well as make sure that characters are fully thought out and what programs allow people to do all these things with just one program. It also talks about how some programs allow people to story board and how important it is for storyboards to be used in indie films and small budget films. It is really interesting how much emphasis the article put on storyboarding.
Overall I’m really impressed by how high a standings Celtx has in the storyboarding software world. I didn’t realize that a free program that is available to anyone would be this good.
