Book Introduction
“If there is a right answer to video production, like in mathematics, this book is it!” -Kim Si-seon (movie YouTuber with 1.6 million subscribers) Highly recommended book Video directing know-how from a current Pixar senior artist! A must-read for engaging visual storytelling As the demand and supply for visually realized video production, including movies, animation, broadcasting, computer graphics (CG), and mobile device-centric video service platforms like TikTok and YouTube, as well as one-person broadcasting and visual advertising, increase, the number of people who take up video production and distribution as a hobby is increasing. In proportion to this, the demand for video content is exploding worldwide. As the line between amateur and professional video production has disappeared, knowledge of video directing has become crucial for creating good video content and properly understanding videos. Furthermore, the importance of storytelling skills that enable communication with audiences through video content beyond video directing is also becoming increasingly important. This book is a video grammar guidebook that introduces video directing methods that capture the hearts of audiences to film, broadcast, animation, and video creators. The author, who participated as a layout artist (equivalent to a cinematographer in film) in the production of over 10 feature-length animations, including [Soul], [Luca], [Coco], [Toy Story 4], and [Finding Dory] at Disney Pixar Studios, which is considered the world's best animation studio, introduced the method of video directing that captures the hearts of audiences to film, broadcast, animation, and video creators. The rules for constructing and operating the language of video are called video grammar. Video grammar is the basic knowledge required to direct and edit videos, and it is necessary to acquire this knowledge in order to produce effective videos. This book provides useful and practical tips to help you effectively use visual language in a variety of fields, including film, animation, video, illustration, and visual design. It also contains 101 core skills for all creatives, from film and video directors to graphic designers, who struggle to bring their ideas to life visually. |

From “Every shot must have a purpose”
In the case of Pixar, even the direction in which a pencil is placed on a desk is considered as a line leading to the main subject.
This is where Pixar's efforts to not miss even a single detail stand out.
---「30.
From "Be sensitive to the 'lines' on the screen"
The directing that saves the camera movements or angles that are absolutely necessary to portray important moments in the story in a special way is a hidden 'secret tip' for movies that look well-organized.

Publisher's Review
Illustration, animation, storyboard, film, video creator, etc.
A must-read for any creator preparing to direct a video or experiencing difficulties.
This book is unique in that it unravels the 'pulse' of directing based on the author's field experience, unlike existing books on video directing.
It covers a wide range of topics, from technical aspects to basic knowledge, such as basic shooting, editing, and directing, terminology used in actual production settings, production process and pipeline construction, and mindset when approaching video.
Another advantage of this book is that it covers everything from pre-vis to planning, shooting, editing, and basic video grammar, as well as practical tips for dealing with difficulties encountered in the field.
From beginners just entering the visual storytelling field such as film and animation to the basics of shooting, production, and editing, to the overlooked core elements of directing, and the mindset a director should have, we've linked example video shorts with QR codes and explained them in an easy and fun way through illustrations and still cuts.
It is also interesting that it contains vivid know-how for compelling visual storytelling, which is necessary for illustrators, visual designers related to video, storyboard artists, video content creators, and 3D game developers.
'The decisive scenes of the masterpieces we remember are often those where the camera is restrained rather than moving,' or 'It is more important when directing a film.
It is full of very practical and specific advice, such as 'Get used to subtracting (rather than trying to add something)'.
