Directing the Story: Professional
Storytelling and Storyboarding
Techniques for Live Action and
Animation by Francis Glebas
Simply Amazing!
Francis Glebas, a top Disney storyboard artist, teaches artists a structural
approach to clearly and dramatically presenting visual stories. They will
learn classic visual storytelling techniques such as conveying meaning with
images and directing the viewers eye. Glebas also teaches how to spot
potential problems before they cost time and money, and he offers creative
solutions on how to solve them.
* Uses the classic story of 1001 Arabian Nights to show how to storyboard
stories that will engage an audiences attention and emotions.
* With 1001 drawings in graphic novel format plus teaching concepts and
commentary.

* All of the storyboarding examples have a real project context rather to
engage a very visual audience on their own terms and teaches through
demonstration.
Personal Review: Directing the Story: Professional Storytelling
and Storyboarding Techniques for Live Action and Animation by
Francis Glebas
I am a recent graduate of the Gnomon School of Visual Effects and have
been fortunate enough to have had the privilege to actually be a student in
Francis' class. I remember when he was in the process of writing this
book, "Directing the Story" and in my most humble opinion the book is
nothing less than pure gold. There is nothing else out there that I know of
that explains the true essence and meaning of film making, why we make
films...and most importantly why we watch films. This book IS the Holy
Grail of film making.
If you are serious about becoming a great story teller...BUY THIS BOOK! I
cannot even begin to express to whom ever is reading this review how
important it will be for your career if you have any interest in the
entertainment industry. It has changed my life, and I know it will for
anyone else out there too.
Francis was one of the best teachers I have ever had, and now having
recently purchased and read the book it was like being in his storyboarding
class all over again. I jokingly now envy everyone else out in the world
today because they now have access to all of the golden knowledge that I
had to go to film school in Hollywood to acquire.
I hope to become a director one day, and if I ever win an Oscar or any
other great success I will know why...thank you Mr. Francis Glebas! =)
