anyone got any advice/resources I can look at? I'm in a play right now that would make a great film (at least as an educational project for myself), and want to do some solid preproduction work before I ask the rest of the cast to come on board.

maybe what I should've asked is what should be the focus of story boards? Such as how many per scene? Should each shot be storyboarded? I'm certain that there's no absolute RIGHT way, but if anyone has a method that has worked well for them, I'd love to hear about it.

what's happened to this board? I haven't been here for a while, but I remember people giving you the benefit of the doubt that you've already done some basic searches on the subject of inquiry...
I KNOW can search amazon, google, newsgroups, and look into film schools... when I ask a question on the PVAN, it's because I want advice from an actual person who's got experience.

Well, I know that the Coen brothers storyboard the entire movie before shooting.
It really depends on the story and project. If you want something to show people to get them involved, as much planning as possible would help. I would just sit down and write out what you want to do in timeline form, and look at how it builds up etc. Again, each project is different, I only have experience storyboarding animations, and that process was to figure out what to model and what kind of scenes to assemble during production.

storyboard film like anything else. You want to show blocking and shot composition in the frame. along with that you describe the action and what dialogue is associated with that shot.
big notecards work well. easy to rearrange and you can grab the ones you are shooting that day.
