This author does his research! This entire book is just as compreshensive and reads somewhat like a textbook with a sense of humor. Exercises are grouped at the end of the book rather than with each chapter. Everything is illustrated very well, in both B&W and color. At the end are some wonderful interviews.- Libby Reed, Animation World Magazine, April 2007 Hello fellow story artists! I love storyboarding. I've been doing it for more than 30 years now and I can't wait to get up each day and draw some more. I've learned a lot over the years and I want this book to share my knowledge with you. It's much more than a how-to art book. I cover the business of storyboarding, how to work with directors, pricing and everything else I could think of. If you have a question about storyboarding, it's answered in this book. This is the 3rd edition. I added so much to this edition it took me a year to update.  I hope you enjoy it and have a thriving career! Keep on boarding!
