Storyboarding Essentials: SCAD Creative Essentials (How to Translate Your Story to the Screen for Film, TV, and Other Media) Paperback – June 25, 2013

Actually more than what I needed to learn about Storyboarding, but perfectly presented so I could pick out what I needed.Complete Table of contents hotlinked to portions of my Kindle Reader making for fast access and more enjoyable reading. Like Storyboarding the Eight Chapters in the book laid out like a storyboard, and also cover what is in the making of a good film which comes in very handy. The last chapter, Chapter eight, ties it all together and will work as quick refresher. The Appendix even has a storyboard checklist, templates, and much more. There is no glossary but I realized the INDEX works as a glossary, and the whole book is like one big cliff notes version of Storyboarding. Words are well defined contextually, they can also be found in the index, and then loop back to where they appear in text via hotlink in Index. Super well laid out book.I love the way the text is backed up by scripts, is then backed up by pictures, time lines, and even web links to seminars and more information.Also information is provided in a bare bones type format, which I prefer, as the authors give you information rapidly and does not embellish with a ton of unneeded information.Great that pictures of Actual script pages with scribbles as to what was desired for Storyboard and then actual pictures of then made storyboards were used for examples.A great book!!! I'd get it again and recommend to friends.Contact either the authors or leave comments down below if you have any other questions not answered here.

This book not only gives you tips on making a storyboard but teaches you the best techniques/methods to telling stories visually. I picked this up just to get familiar with the basics and now find myself learning much more and being a better producer/videographer as a result.

2023 promises to be opportunistic if I can do my part, and this book, among a few others, are my foundation for taking on some storyboarding work in the near future. While I have formidable skills with illustration, this is going to be a new world for me. Onward and upward! As for my review of the book in question, I found it very informative, comprehensive, and not at all hard to read and comprehend despite it being largely new territory for me as an artist. I look forward to using it as a constant reference as I move forward.

Great reference for storyboarding. I especially enjoyed the discussion of camera shots. I purchased the book vis-a-vis comic creation and the "shot" sections have giving me reason to pause and rethink how panels/frames are designed.

I've read a few books on storyboarding, this is by far the most fun, not only cause it's up to date. But its just fresh and fun to read.some books can be very dry and professional. this book was done in a way thats as fun as reading a comic. used the show not tell set of mind. as in instead of going on some long lengthy paragraph it will just plan show you what they mean. lots of pictures and examples in this book. the book done with a younger audience in mind.I mean just look at who did it. I sure they have years of experience to make the material interesting and I got to say this book pulls it off very well.theres also a lot of great interviews to read and you get to learn from different experiences.this book made me with I was able to go to the school. looking forward to other books by them

Very well illustrated. No need to read it, just look at the great illustrations. For anyone who does story boarding a great source of ideas.

This book is very handy. It feels like reading a college level art course book but without the college price. It's easy to understand, informative and fun. The appendix has a several templates to use as well. The instruction in this book is suberb, it took me from knowing little to nothing about storyboarding to being well-informed and comfortable with the subject matter. This is a must have for anyone who wishes to filmamking, TV or even comics.

This book deals with so many areas he is planning to explore after he graduates from college that I knew it was exactally what I should get him for Christmas, as he is both and illustrator and a writer.
