Directors from Eisenstein to Spielberg have used storyboards to visualize their stories before production.
So much useful information for designing and organizing storyboards R. McClintick Ms. Begleiter shares so much useful information for designing and organizing storyboards as well as preparing to work as a storyboard artist in the industry. Her work has helped me outline the ideas for devicing useful production guides. Because this book outlines the preparatory work for filmmakers it has been useful for me. Also the work has guided me in my artistic sketching. Even though not used with the business yet, it has been a wonderful tool for just life as an artist.. As complete as it can be - close to an encyclopaedic dictionary! Luiz F. S. Campello There is not much I can add to what's been said in the previous reviews, but there is ONE thing I found here that I never read anywhere else, and just that would make the book worth it's price. From page 160, I quote:"If we dispense with the steps of drawing an overhead and plotting the points of the set into an elevation, then we need a quick way of determining the placement of the vanishing points by eye. The suggested placement is one-half a frame's distance outside the frame on either side, for a natural, 50mm lens length appearance."I've read a lot. publichero said not much here. 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.
