You don't have to be an artist to use FrameForge Previz Studio 3D. It's the perfect tool for directors, filmmakers, and commercial creatives.  

The simplicity of drag and drop allows you to build your interiors and exteriors, place actors, props and cameras just like you were on a sound-stage and then snap storyboard frames with just a click of a button. 

Each camera features full Pan/Tilt, Dolly, Zoom, Roll and Crane control with the option to limit focal lengths and camera heights to the actual range of your equipment. Its power and ease of use empowers you to experiment and discover the very best shot to capture each story moment.

Finally export everything from storyboards to Animatics, to full Animation.
