Storyboard Quick

This program got recommended to me the other day, but at over $200, I don't want to buy blindly.

Does anyone have any experience using this? Is there a demo available somewhere (note: I've found a couple bu AVG blocked the downloads, so they couldn't have been genuine)?
 
Holocene,

This is why I was asking for a demo.

Let's be honest: if we were going to get pirate software, would we really then splash out $200 to say to the developers, "I'm buying it because I feel bad"?

And as WalterB pointed out: if AVG are blocking the so-called trials that I found on somewhat suspicious sites online, isn't it better to know that my obsession with porn isn't being reported to whoever's following my online actions via whatever junk got installed thanks to a bogus program?

I take it then that nobody knows of a legitimate demo' somewhere?

I'm curious now as to how you all storyboard stuff you'd want to present to investors, since - despite the fact that Spielberg uses them - I'm sure my stickmen would get me laughed out of the room.

The porn thing was a joke, by the way...
 
I use stickmen with volume :P
Seriously, just give the sticks body and you'll have something that represents real shots.

If it is a official presentation I use photoshop to tighten my drawings and add some color to them.
Otherwise it's just drawings with some notes.
 
The boards are meant to be presented to help raise money.

I can draw pretty well bu I get frustrated that the angles are off; stickmen isn't something to show investors (though works fine with crew).

I heard that Storyboard Quick lets the user move a virtual camera around a blocked scene to get the desired shot, so figured it would best sell exactly what I had in mind.

I haven't been able to see how well this virtual camera thing works, despite their videos on YouTube, so was wondering about a demo.


P.S. Somebody bought me Photoshop but I've never had the patience to even begin to master it. It's so much easier to work with paper, but then, that flashy modern look is left wanting (and I don't normally spend days on drawings, just sketches that I may or may not add colour to).
