Boords is a web-based video pre-production platform where agencies and brand teams write scripts, build storyboards and animatics, and collect client feedback and sign-off.
About
Boords is a browser-based pre-production platform for video teams that combines script writing, storyboarding, animatic creation, and client approval in a single workspace. It addresses a common pain point in video production: work scattered across documents, slide decks, email threads, and chat apps, which makes it hard to find the version a client actually approved.
Teams draft scripts together, convert them into storyboard frames (using their own images, stock, or AI-generated ones), and turn boards into timed animatics with one click. A share link lets clients comment frame by frame and sign off without creating an account, while every comment and version stays on record. Boords was founded in 2015 by James Chambers, previously co-founder of the London animation studio Animade, and is built by Presentable Software Limited in the United Kingdom.
