Has anyone any suggestions for software that would help to create a filming storyboard from a script.

Google storyboarding software for starters. I’ve been using the Frame Forge software. You can download a demo version tha’s completely functional, it just limits the amount of objects that you can use. It’s 3D based and if set up properly can give you a reasonably accurate idea of what your angle of view/distance issues are as well. There are some others out there that use, (I believe), 2-d cutouts to populate the frame. Anyway, there’s a start.

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. I have downloaded the demo and after a couple of hours I was setting up small sets that I feel would be useful when trying to get ideas over to the rest of my colleagues. thanks again David

Your Welcome. It’s great for sharing ideas. It’s also good at figuring outt practicl issues. Furniture that has to be moved to give you a clear angle, for instance. One of the things I liked is that if you set it up properly with the film/image size setting and get an idea of your cameras focal lengths (i.e. 8mm-96mm) then you can also see what framing your camera will really give you. How wide a frame you will really get in a 10×10 room. Practical things that can save you a lot of grief when your camera cannot give you the pictures that your imagination can. Anyway, enjoy.
Eric
