Into the book
Surprisingly, Alfred Hitchcock drew storyboards for every scene in his films and then shot them by transferring them to film.
Director Orson Welles' working method was the same.
For both master directors, storyboards were a means of gaining insight into camera movements for each scene.
Storyboards have always been at the heart of filmmaking, especially action sequences.
For the films I was involved with, the storyboard served as a 'bible' for the locations to be filmed that day on set.
Those few sheets of paper, along with previsualization (a digital extension of traditional storyboards), helped us craft solutions for complex action sequences, allowing us to plan our day's shoot as efficiently as possible.
Storyboards can also save valuable production time by clearly communicating what the director wants to the second crew (typically responsible for filming establishing shots, insert shots, and action sequences involving stunts).
Simply put, storyboards solve problems, provide clarity, and thereby save time and money.
"Storyboard Production Know-How" is a must-read for all video producers, from beginners to seasoned professionals.
This book will guide readers through every step of the storyboarding process, preparing them to dive into the world of creativity.
Have fun storyboarding!
