STORYBOARD PRO: Locking characters to Camera

 This is a bit of a simplistic example, but for shots where the camera follows your characters, storyboard pro has a great feature that allows you to lock layers to the camera.  Meaning you can pan across a background while your characters stay locked in place. 



So first draw your background art, and your character art. Then you can lock your character art layer to the camera by going to the "layers window" (windows> layers if it is not visible). Select your layer (1) and click on the icon with a pin (2). 



Looking forward to experiment a bit more with this, to see how it can be used. 

Actually, here's a second example. I locked the black borders and the character art to the camera, with a pan on the BG (based on a shot from Dragon Ball Super):
