The Sketch Tool is indeed useful, but Celtx provides an even more powerful way of visualizing scenes. Let's look at storyboarding now.

Storyboards are a series of illustrations (sketches) and images shown in sequence to pre-visualize (graphically plan) a motion picture, animation, documentary, interactive website, or any other type of the many productions that can be scripted in Celtx. Essentially, like a large comic (as in a comic book) of the film, storyboards help directors, cinematographers, or videographers (people who run the cameras), clients, or anyone one else involved in a project, visualize the scenes and find potential problems ahead of time.

Even if we are only writing a spec script, it helps us describe how the plot plays out if we have a series of visualizations, namely, a Storyboard.

The storyboard format, which is widely used today and incorporated into Celtx, was first developed at the Walt Disney studios in the 1930s. One of the first major feature films to be storyboarded was the classic Gone with the Wind in 1939. Storyboarding is important and helpful in the creative process. Instead of pinning drawings all over the walls, like the first storyboards, Celtx lets us do it right inside our project.
