This book gives a good advice for the beginner on how to create a successful storyboard and the argues the importance of the storyboard as a visual tool in the planning process. John Hart gives reference the many greats in both animation and film and uses them and their work as examples to back-up his argument.
I found this book extremely useful for research purposes, but not so much for the hints and tips on drawing. However, some of the points he made were very creditable.
