Product Description

Book Description

Based on the notion that visual communication (drawing) is a learnable skill and not an inborn talent, this book is a guide to storyboarding for the novice as well as the professional. Film-makers from Eisenstein to Spielberg have utilized sotryboards to visualise their stories before the pressures of shooting consume their energies.

This book will take you on a step-by-step guide to the pre-production process of breaking down the script, using overhead diagrams to block out shots and creating usable drawings for film frames that collaborators an read and understand.

A rich, visual textbook and guide to the fascinating world of storyboards, this book is for the serious film student and the cinema bug who are fascinated by the visual tools used to create cinema.

About the Author

An accomplished storyboard artist and art director, as well as teacher at the American Film Institute and Art Center College.

By K. Williams

Format:Paperback

This book would appeal to anyone interested or studying film, motion graphics and animation. It's a step by step guide on film production from direction, to story boarding, camera angles and the effects you can create in your film by using these simple methods. It also has quotes from famous film directors for inspiration. It's one of those handy books you can refer back to through your work.

best book on storyboarding 19 July 2002

By Harry Mott - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

From word to image
Marcie Begleiter

Storyboarding and the filmmaking process

This is the best book to have on storyboarding. As Chair of the Digital Media dept. at Otis College of Art and Design, I read and review tons of books to see if they would be of use for our undergrads and graduates. Though there are several books that cover storyboarding, none are as effective nor as useful. This goes beyond a mere lesson in the formatting of a storyboard. There is a deep understanding of the subject because Marcie is a long-time professional feature film storyboard artist. The book does cover the feel and look of a storyboard, yet it goes beyond that by providing examples from the grand history of film. Just one of the nice features of the book is the excellent list of DVDs that contain storyboard examples and visualization documents. Marcie tells you what a storyboard is for, how to make one, how to make them effective and then even how to get a gig as a storyboard artist. It is all here for you.

Interested in learning storyboarding? START HERE! 18 Jan 2002

By CHRISTIAN - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I am teaching an advanced motion graphics course at a California University, and for my students I needed a good book on storyboarding. I looked at about half a dozen of them (in-print and out-of-print). This book is by far the best. It is systematic, it is clearly and concisely written, and it uses reproductions of real storyboards of real films. It is adequate for the beginner and useful for moderately experienced graphic artists and illustrators looking to repurpose their skills for the field of storyboarding.

not much here 11 Jun 2007

By p. n. avakian - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

All of what this book says could have been said in 5 or 6 pages. There are a few basic concepts the book covers that are worthwhile, but I found it to be heavily padded and very basic. A much better book is Profores' Film Directing Fundamentals, which comes at storyboarding and other visualization tools from a director's viewpoint, rather than an illustrator's.
