Summary: misleading
Comment: This book is unfortunately very misleading in its content - Aimed as a multi format guide, the book rarely strays away from comic book technique.
For filmmakers/animators, this book offers little beyond rudimentary film theory and skills. Plus the majority of the example material is very sub-standard. Avoid this one.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good read but doesn't keep its promise
Comment: There is no doubt this book is good value for money. What basically lets it down is its illustrations - much of the text is explained by illustrations and some significant examples are so poorly reproduced or so small that the meaning is lost.
On the whole, with a few exceptions, I found it skirting around the topics offering little depth.
The books gave a good general coverage and pointed out the areas to follow up with further reading/viewing.
This said, I still would recommend this book for anyone interested in the techniques of visual storytelling.
Rating: 5
Summary: Don't pass this one up!!
Comment: This book belongs in the library of anyone who is or would like to be a storyteller whether it be comics, animation, film or any multimedia field. This is one of those rare books that doesn't get published enough. The fact that it covers more than one medium makes this an invaluable reference title. Besides, how often do you find a book that tells you how Steranko does it?
