Motion in Art, Second Edition is a step-by-step breakdown of the production and business of storyboards, discussing in detail what storyboards are, how and why they are used, and how to get started and flourish as a storyboard artist. Using exercises, interviews, real-life examples of working in the entertainment industry, and many sample drawings, this book teaches you how develop and improve your boards; work with directors; develop your resume and your portfolio; market your talent; and use computers to create and improve a storyboard.
