This study provides the first book-length critical history of storyboarding, from the birth of cinema to the present day and beyond. It discusses the role of storyboarding in key films including Gone with the Wind , Psycho and The Empire Strikes Back , and is illustrated with a wide range of images.

Storyboarding: a critical history is an important, timely and valuable contribution to a neglected field of scholarly study, not only for the selective case studies, but also for its general introduction to the field.
