There seems to be two different versions of the book, The Storyboard Design Course: The Ultimate Guide for Artists, Directors, Producers and Scriptwriters (white cover paperback) and Storyboard Design Course: Principles, Practice, and Techniques (yellow cover paperback). The ISBN numbers are different but the number of pages are the same. The one I have is the white cover paperback or as it says, the ultimate guide.
Storyboards are essential tools used in the creation of media production. It is the best way to present a concept before sinking in manpower and money. If you take a look at the animation art books I have on site, you'll notice that storyboards are in almost every single one of them, e.g. All Pixar movies, Superman Returns, Wallace & Gromit etc.
This book is a guide to help the reader understand the purpose, function and techniques of storyboards. The author Giuseppe Cristiano has tremendous experience in the field and in this book talks about storyboards relating to films, advertising, music videos, games and animation.
There are eight chapters covering all the essentials of storyboards:
* Understanding storyboards and where they are used
* Skills required
* Going over basic drawing skills
* Looking at requirements for different types of storyboards
* Learning the techniques of storyboards such as placing camera angles, compositions, storytelling
* Working with scripts
* Things to look out while on the job
* Going professional
That pretty much covers everything. Lots of examples with actionable descriptions are provided.
I think it is important to note that this is not a step-by-step drawing tutorial book. People who already have basic drawing skills will gain a lot from this book if they want to learn how to storyboard. The focus of the book is on the storytelling aspect and how you can aid that with storyboards.
Just like the title suggests, this book is recommended for artists, directors, producers and scriptwriters.
There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

I bought it because I was interested in drawing storyboards for short films and editorial photo shoots. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to this stuff and it completely opened my eyes.
Very well written, easy to follow and stuffed full of great tips. It exceeded my expectations on all fronts

Inspiring, pleasurable to read, and professionally powerful
11 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
If you are a novice artist approaching storyboarding for the first time, or a long-run professional, you will benefit greatly from this book.
Giuseppe's international experience and intuitions flow from this book to the reader with humor and elegance. I enjoyed very much reading this book, and my skills and knowledge of storyboarding increased. I also added an interesting point of view to my approach to film making.
I warmly reccomend this book to anybody who works in storyboarding, but also to film-makers and communication professionals.
thumbs up for Giuseppe

Good, not great

This book will be helpful primarily for those wishing to start a career as a storyboard artist. For those wanting to learn, clearly and concisely, how to draw good boards... Not so much.
