(boards) act as a blueprint for film and tv production, much as a set of plans helps a contractor to build a house. A finished set of boards for a project may be many hundreds or thousands of drawings that loosely resemble a comic book. A production crew uses these boards to produce the project the way the director envisions it.
Simon and his company have designed and boarded on over 1,000 projects during his more than 13 years in the industry. His clients include NBC, HBO, Nickelodeon, seaQuest DSV, The Waterboy, FOX, NFL, major theme parks and many others. The knowledge he gained from those projects and numerous different directors is gathered together into his new text.
