The wide use of Internet and generally the "media war" that characterize our age, forces the use of Multimedia in a lot of other types of applications. Innovative systems require innovative techniques and methodologies. In this paper we present an architectural Pattern for the creation of a StoryBoard. The StoryBoard is a technique that is borrowed from the film making, and enhanced with additional characteristics from Multimedia systems such as interactivity. This pattern assists the designer in generating a StoryBoard for the application that he is going to develop.
