Film direction Shot by Shot (Big)
I read chapter 1~7 while skimming through some parts
and briefly skimmed through the rest of the book.
Since storyboarding is similar to the concept art part of
game development, I was interested in the level of detail
that artists attempt to go into for storyboards.
Storyboards are often very fast and rough sketches, but
game concept artists often were not willing to finish their
drawings until they were satisfied with the level of detail.
That being full color, high resolution, poster quality detail.
The rational being that it generally is hard to make a living
as an artist and concept artists need high quality portfolios
for job security seemed unreasonable at a producing stand point,
since it sometimes of became a bottle-neck in production.
It was also interesting to see many parallels with game production.
Focusing effects that needed to be artificially created in games,
camera placement and line of action related things were often talked
about for short scenes that were inserted in the game, etc.
It also overlaped a lot with things I learned from a drama class.
The book seems like a good book for introductory film classes
but at the same time seems like most topics are basic enough
that people working in entertainment related industry
can just learn most of it on the fly while working.
