Who came up with the idea of FrameForge 3D Studio? We then used the file in real-time, in meetings for the stunt guys to make suggestions and we’d move the camera around to get ideas.”
Every single FrameForge shot in these boards was spitballed into existence with the 2nd Unit director, Spiro Razatos and our stunt coordinator, Andy Gil. I built the sets and propped the frames. “On Herbie: Fully Loaded, we combined my FrameForge 3D storyboards with frame grabs from VFX-generated pre-viz, and the scans of the director's hand-drawn boards. These were handed out to all members of the shooting company on a daily basis. I can't tell you what a difference it made in raising the level of attention of the whole crew and making everyone feel like they were part of the process. StudentFilmmakers Magazine speaks with Ken Schafer, a screenwriter and filmmaker himself, and president and lead program designer of Innoventive Software, makers of FrameForge 3D Studio and Dan Douma, Vice President of Marketing of Innoventive Software. In addition to prepping for films, FrameForge 3D Studio can also be used for crime scene reconstructions, court presentations, live show planning, 3-Camera television, training/industrial films, emergency response preparation, and pretty much anything that requires exploration of a location prior to actually going there.
FRAMEFORGE VS STORYBOARD QUICK SOFTWARE
Films and episodic television series which have used the software program include: The Punisher 2, Herbie: Fully Loaded, When Evil Calls, and this season of Scrubs. Gary Gray, David Thomas Hickson, Hal Masonberg and many others. Working filmmakers who have used FrameForge 3D Studio include: Chris Nibley, Jacques Haitkin, Dean Devlin, F. Nor does the filmmaker have to be literate in 3D or 3D modeling. It’s not required to be a graphic designer or artist in order to work in the software.
The program is used to effectively communicate visual narrative design ideas to cast, crew, client, investor, instructor and student in an optically-accurate manner.

(Picture Right: Photo taken by cinematographer Chris Nibley. One of them is FrameForge 3D Studio, a previz/storyboard software that provides solutions for filmmakers and storytellers to plan the visual design of their projects. Storyboarding and previz are typically tasked to prep a shoot, but some filmmakers fear its time and money is not well spent – not to mention fear of planning out “the magic.” But as technology advances, cost-effective ways to prepare a shoot are introduced. Yes, it’s possible to “wing it,” but when the flailing starts – time, money and sometimes respect are at stake. Pre-production planning is an often overlooked phase for the indie filmmaker.
