It is one of the best resources I’ve encountered on story development and storyboarding. As much as I loved the book, I am not happy how vulnerable it is. Wish it had at least as thick cover as paperback Animator’s Survival Kit.

Helps with story telling well
by Zababoobee
Years of developing my storyboard skills and studying film language, yet this wonderful book has helped and inspired me to put it all together better than ever before. I’ll probably go back through this great book again every year. Thank you so much Francis.

I own this book for a couple of years and at the beginning it was my main source to learn about storyboarding and creating the perfect visual story.
Best part is that it’s not filling you with unnecessary technical note, it tells the whole storyboarding process and fundamentals with the most fun way; with a story! I learned a lot about structuring your story step by step and create the most accurate way to tell it visually.
On the other hand, the Author Francis Glebas is an acknowledged industry guru and he is sharing his whole years of experience in Disney in a honest way.Now that’s a priceless thing for me when i choose book.
Now, Directing the Story is one of my favorite book on my shelf when I’m stuck at writing and storyboarding.

I love cartooning and I’m trying animation, so this book has been invaluable in terms of helping cut to the chase of a story.

I have read quite a few books about storyboarding but this one put them all to shame. Amazing. A must read.
by Thomas
Awesome book on story telling for films. Only things that could be better would be exercises to create your own story.

I’m in my final year of studying Animation and am planning to try and go into storyboarding once I’m done. I spent years perfecting my art, sketching every day, watching movies to figure out how they set up scenes and yet things never quite fell into place. My storyboards were good but never great.
Then I got this book and read it cover to cover. It’s not a hardship either, you don’t have to labour through it, it’s interesting, engaging and at times even really funny. And it was as if a fog in my brain had lifted. He explains so clearly, brings home every single point so well!
Yesterday I presented my first storyboard after finishing the book. My tutors were amazed and told me I’d just earned myself a First. If that’s not proof that this book is spectacular, I’m not sure what is 🙂
