{"product_id":"storyboarding-essentials-isbn-9780770436940","title":"Storyboarding Essentials","description":"A comprehensive guide to visual storytelling from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), one of the world's leaders in sequential arts instruction. Storyboarding is the process of graphically organizing a project--a motion picture, animation, motion graphic, or interactive media sequence--in order to translate artists' ideas from story to screen. Whether you're a filmmaker, animator, ad director, writer, or video-game artist--storyboarding is a skill that is absolutely critical. Storyboarding Essentials covers everything students and working professionals need to master the art of writing and formatting scripts, creating frames, and following visual logic to create a cohesive narrative.Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword, by Stratton Leopold\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.

They connect written word to final cut; they concern themselves with what the camera “sees” (framing height, camera angle, and movement); they use standard and recognized formats (aspect ratios); and they even employ similar organizational systems (numbering). While the cinematographer relies on instinct and experience, a good storyboard artist will develop a strong understanding of camera angles and framing heights to help the director achieve his or her vision.","brand":"Watson-Guptill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304023576805,"sku":"NP9780770436940","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780770436940.jpg?v=1767737389","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/storyboarding-essentials-isbn-9780770436940","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
