Moviestorm: Good for Storyboarding?
My son, Blake, made this video with Moviestorm, a new application (free) for both Mac and PC platforms that allows you to make a virtual movie. Blake created the story, customized the characters, recorded the dialog, rendered it, and uploaded it to YouTube. I haven’t really tried using the software yet, but my guess is that it must be pretty easy to use.
I was pleasantly surprised by his mini short film. And after watching it, I couldn’t help wondering, “Could Moviestorm be used for storyboarding?”

It’s an interesting free alternative to static storyboarding options however I think its usefulness is limited by the small number of set locations that are available (sets have to be purchased.)
However, if you could live with characters in a blank or very nondescript background then these animated storyboards might be interesting depending upon how much time and effort the animations actually take to create. Overall, I think the software is best suited to other tasks, such as creating totally original works as your son has discovered. Kudos to him!
