en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2008

Complementar volumului Professional Storyboarding de Sergio Paez, care se concentrează pe supraviețuirea în industria competitivă, Directing the Story explorează profunzimile psihologice ale regiei vizuale. Considerăm că forța acestui manual constă în abordarea sa tehnică asupra modului în care un regizor manipulează atenția publicului pentru a genera un răspuns emoțional. Autorul, Francis Glebas, extrage lecții valoroase din experiența sa la Disney, transformând frustrările de pe platourile de producție într-un sistem riguros de storytelling vizual.

Spre deosebire de The Animator's Eye, unde accentul era pus pe viziunea personală și utilizarea culorii, acest volum este un ghid structural despre cum se construiește o scenă de la zero. Organizată în două părți fundamentale, cartea progresează de la bazele desenului pentru storyboard — introducând tehnica inovatoare a „star figures” pentru a depăși blocajele anatomice — până la tactici avansate de compoziție. Un aspect distinctiv este integrarea proiectului „Scheherazade” ca studiu de caz continuu, oferind cititorului o demonstrație practică a evoluției unui concept în imagini.

Recomandăm acest manual pentru rigurozitatea cu care tratează relația dintre imagine, cuvânt și sunet. Cu peste 900 de ilustrații, textul funcționează ca un laborator tehnic, oferind instrumente pentru structurarea tematică a filmului și animației 3D. Este o continuare firească a cercetărilor autorului din Iggy's Incredibly Easy Way to Write a Story, rafinând metoda sa vizuală de scriere și oferind o teorie a narațiunii care accelerează procesul creativ fără a sacrifica profunzimea dramatică.

Recenzii

"Francis Glebas has put together a really comprehensive and thought-provoking look at the art and craft of film making, specifically directing. His approach, which is to ask a lot of seemingly innocent questions, has much the same effect as the good storytelling he is trying to teach us…it draws us in and makes us think. I can’t imagine anyone, in or out of our business, who won’t find any number of helpful ideas as they work their way through the filmmaking jungles!!"--Roy Disney, Director Emeritus and consultant for The Walt Disney Company "Francis Glebas was one of our most talented storyboard artists at Disney, and it was our great fortune to have him on the story team. He has a wealth of experience to share."--Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO, Dreamworks Animation
"A veritable bible of visual storytelling techniques and advice. Loaded with pictures, the book is set up like a storyboard for the material she wants to convey. Covering everything from why we watch movies to the most effective ways to build and maintain drama, she teaches how to keep your audience riveted to the screen. And if you’re worried that you may not have the drawing chops to create good storyboards, don’t worry - she’s on it. Even if you can’t draw a straight line, she teaches how to use whatever you’ve got, the barest minimum of drawing skills, to create the most effective boards you can imagine. Ever wondered why you look where you do on the screen? It’s not a coincidence, the director is pointing your attention in very specific directions. Glebas doesn’t just tell you how to direct the eye, she explains the why of it - how our brain works and how the director plays with those elements to convince us that what is taking place on screen is real; and not just real but urgent and dramatic. The book covers everything a director needs to know in order to prepare the storyboard for an effective and memorable film. All you have to add is your story! Highly recommended for the following areas of study: Animation, Theatre, Film Studies at the high school, college, and university levels. And it’s a must buy for libraries that collect texts on these subjects."--Animation World Network.com
