Customer Reviews

Best book on topic

I picked this book up in NYU's bookstore, where it seems to be a required textbook for students. Being an independent animator, I found this book to be the best storyboarding book on the market. The author efficiently lays out what you need to know to create compelling, industry-quality visuals for your media piece. She covers the perspective basics, sb terminology and practices, and other related industry standards like directing, lighting and photography principles - to interrelate all topics together into what one needs to know for a good storyboard. My storyboards from this point forward are going to be much better and I'm going to go back and re-work some of my existing storyboards using the principles learned in this book. This book is a job well done!

Great Learning Tool

The book is written in textbook style with questions at the end of each chapter. I found it a fun read. There are a few good short interview pages from professionals working in the field. The author offers great references to other books for drawing and anatomy, as this book deals more with the how and why storyboards are used and like the title says Exploring Storyboarding.

Really Helpful

This book teaches you important aspects about storyboarding for movies/cartoons/etc. It covers everything you can think of and gives good examples and explanations. This is good for anyone thinking about directing or storyboarding.

Storyboarding

Good introduction to storyboarding with a definite direction towards media, and many specific examples. This is NOT a book on cartooning.
