An effective combination of creative exercises, real-life examples, and simple illustrations are integrated in this "how-to" book, teaching readers to develop their storyboarding skills for a variety of media types, including film, television, animation, and interactive media. Each aspect of the storyboarding process is carefully examined including creating visually specific shot lists and overhead diagrams, and drawing simple sketches that express a clear understanding of staging, editing, and composition. Coverage is rounded out with a comprehensive overview of camera techniques that helps readers visualize a scene before the process of storyboarding begins.
This is a great book that I found to be very helpful in understanding what is going on in the realm of storyboarding, but lest I remind you that there is nothing that can really prepare you for the real thing.
A good book overall, if you're into this kind of thing. I was interested in some of it, but mostly I had to read it. It is written quite well though and there is some good information in it.
