Summary: A wholesome introduction
Review: A very good introduction to storyboarding. If you want general but honestly detailed account of how it's like being a storyboard artist, this book is for you. However it's not really a "how-to" book, but better! This book made me more interested in storyboarding, and convinced me of its importance for a variety of fields: movies, tv, animation, and even video games.

Review: As a former student of Marcie's, now working in the field, it's a pleasure for me to refresh my knowledge of the skills she teaches. While on the job, I've referred to this book many times in the few weeks since purchasing it. Declaring that it is "useful" is perhaps the greatest praise one can give a book of this type. I've found From word to Image to be exceedingly useful, and highly recommend it.

Summary: reveiw board
Review: From Word to Image by Marcie Begleiter is a worthwhile investment to ANYONE looking to get into storyboarding.
The well -thought-out book takes her 2-day seminar and packages it for easy access to anyone working on improving their visual storytelling techniques.
I had taken her seminar some time ago and have been following my notes taken during the seminar ever since. Now the book is available and the material has been updated, so it's like I've taken an advanced class from the same instructor.
Highly recommended!!!!!!

Summary: best book on storyboarding
Review: From word to image
Marcie BegleiterStoryboarding and the filmmaking process This is the best book to have on storyboarding. As Chair of the Digital Media dept. at Otis College of Art and Design, I read and review tons of books to see if they would be of use for our undergrads and graduates. Though there are several books that cover storyboarding, none are as effective nor as useful. This goes beyond a mere lesson in the formatting of a storyboard. There is a deep understanding of the subject because Marcie is a long-time professional feature film storyboard artist. The book does cover the feel and look of a storyboard, yet it goes beyond that by providing examples from the grand history of film. Just one of the nice features of the book is the excellent list of DVDs that contain storyboard examples and visualization documents. Marcie tells you what a storyboard is for, how to make one, how to make them effective and then even how to get a gig as a storyboard artist. It is all here for you.

Summary: clearly written useful & well structured information
Review: I am a professionally trained graphic designer who works in film and I already did a lot of storyboarding for film and commercials before I came across this helpful book. There 's a lot of useful stuff for every professional level, especially in this kind of trade where most have to teach themselves. Basic explanations on drawing people and camera angles, more advanced tips & tricks to finetune your workflow, great chapters on camera setup & move vocabulary and inspiring illustrations and storyboard art. The adding of personal recollection of the writer's storyboarding career makes it a fun and interesting read. If you want to improve your storyboarding skills (and communication-with-directors-skills), buying this book will definitely pay off.

Summary: Interested in learning storyboarding? START HERE!
Review: I am teaching an advanced motion graphics course at a California University, and for my students I needed a good book on storyboarding. I looked at about half a dozen of them (in-print and out-of-print). This book is by far the best. It is systematic, it is clearly and concisely written, and it uses reproductions of real storyboards of real films. It is adequate for the beginner and useful for moderately experience graphic artists and illustrators looking to repurpose their skills for the field of storyboarding.

Summary: Best I've read!
Review: I have been through the pre-production process more than a few times and have always struggled to accurately transfer my ideas to paper. I was looking to increase my skills in this area and a friend suggested I pick up this book... WOW!, was I blown away. This book walks you through the entire process of getting the ideas swimming around in your head onto the paper with such clarity and ease that I was actually shocked. If I had to recommend a learning tool to a filmmaker, be they director or a member of the art department, I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Begleiter's book.
