Likewise, Plotagon has its own scenes and character options so that not only is a microphone not required, but neither is a camera. While you can use headphones, Plotagon has its own automated voicing options which gives the characters a voice so that the user doesn’t have to. Plotagon doesn’t require any type of materials other than a computer or a phone on which to download the program. The options Plotagon gives you as you create your story always come with pretty simplistic buttons so that users have less difficulty accessing its features. There are limited options to choose from when beginning to create a video, in that it simply says “Create Video” or “Import Project.” Once you click on “Create Video” it comes up with options to choose a scene or to type text. Traversing the program is pretty simple, especially from a mobile screen. In addition to choosing scenes and creating characters that look the way you want them to, Plotagon also gives its users choices of behaviors or facial expressions that you can have your characters act out so that they portray the emotions you want them to get across better. You can select a certain scene from Plotagon’s options (you can only select one of a certain few unless you pay to unlock more), build a character (also with limited customization options unless purchased), type up a script that the characters speak, and have Plotagon act it out for you. It’s basically a movie creator with digital scenes and characters. While Plotagon is free to create an account with and free to use at first, if you wish to acquire more scene options or character customization accessories, you can buy them individually or purchase a subscription. There are no ads that you’re required to watch to access content.

After creating an account, Plotagon will send you a verification code that you have to access through your email.Īfter the 7 day period, they suggest setting up a subscription which will allow access to more content, more voice options to voice your characters, and allows you to download and use your stories with no water marks. To download the software on your computer requires a bit of space, at about 6GB. It’s free to download and use for the first 7 days, you just have to sign up with an e-mail and password to create an account. Plotagon is a mobile and desktop platform that can be downloaded onto your desktop computer through Windows, or on your phone as long as you have access to the Apple Store or to the Google Play Store.

I had used Plotagon before, with friends, to make dumb joke videos. When looking through the tools list of what sites, apps, or programs we could use to create our digital story, I was surprised to find Plotagon Studio on the list. Only because I was never quite sure of what one was. I had never tried to write a “digital story” before.
