Visual media artists such as film and video storyboarders, 3D animators, comic book artists, and creators of interactive games must express purely with pictures everything that the writer can't communicate in words. As a result, truly effective visual storytelling must be compelling, dynamic and have the appearance of reality. In Visual Storytelling: The Art & Technique, veteran publisher, artist and writer Tony Caputo demonstrates everything the aspiring visual media artist needs to know in order to master sequential art. Artists will discover, by cross-pollinating comics, film, animation and interactive games, through clear illustrations and pictures, each stage of the production process.
