I'm not exactlty a DD fan but I can't default the PHB and DMG for this. The DD line as a clear structure (I jost hope all rpgs had a similarly clear structure) and in that structure things are handled in different parts of the whole DD set. In DD the 'storyboards' are sold to you in the scenarios and campaign materials, it's as simple as that. One may not like the type of 'storyboards' DD focus on; one may not like to be sold 'storyboards' this way; one may not like the fact that DD does not teach you how to develop a 'storyboard', it only teaches you how to design encounters to be inserted into a 'storyboard'; one may not like any or all of this but one can't truly say that DD lacks 'storybaords'.
If your concept of rpg requires 'storyboards', DD provides them and it works with them. As simple as that.
