Cinematics Storyboard Workshop 2nd Edition is a practical guidebook for
the entry-level storyboard artist that explains the core concepts necessary to
start creating professional production level storyboards for film, animation
and video game cinematics. Modeled on the author's education course, the material in this book clearly and
concisely focuses on storyboard fundamentals, including storyboard mechanics,
camera angles, shot progression, staging and work flow. Current practices in
digital storyboarding and pre-vis are covered in
depth as well as the predominant software and hardware tools used in the
industry. The film making concepts covered in this book are based on the
Continuity Style, the principle approach to film making used in feature and
television production today. Industry professionals and advisors from the
