“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.” (Pascal Lefèvre, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Issue 1, December, 2016)
