I love Joe Rinaldi's story sketches. Much like his colleague Bill Peet, on top of his superb storytelling he worked out camera angles, staging, terrific character poses and expressions as well as color mood. As I said before, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish Rinaldi's sketches from Peet's. The drawings are deceivingly simple, the main idea for each sketch is boiled down to its essence. Everything reads instantly, which makes for excellent communication while watching the film in story board form.
All sketches are from recent Heritage Auctions.
