Storyboard [Version 2 - Final]

Throughout the process of creating the previous storyboard, I constantly had huge concerns over how I was going to create, texture and light the flat landscapes successfully. The sets that would to be constructed were not powerful enough, nor did they translate the soul of the line-drawings that they'd be based of off.

It was this issue, along with my general dissatisfaction with the storyboard that led me to go back to the drawing board and start over.

Below is an illustration I drew earlier this year, full of dramatic lighting and texture - something that would work effectively in 3D form. I decided that the new storyboard would all take place underground; both in the black void and in this cave-like setting - all with a small hole in the sky through which the symbolic red light will shine.

Drafting the New Storyboard:

When Gordon Tait had a look at my storyboard, he gave me one piece of very useful advice for my storyboard format that I wasn't aware of before:

As a complete stranger looking at your pdf storyboard, I would suggest this;

That you turn the sheets into a set of sequential individual frames - - - that the viewer can click through each frame and ponder - a bit like your homepage [to my website].

Then the viewer can move each frame on - once he/she has read the text details of each frame - in association with that frame's visuals to understand technical needs.

(That change could go a long way to clarifying the eventual movie at little or no cost.)

(And there may be lots of people with different roles to play who need to see what is actually required from them)

When it comes to the final formatting, depending on the size of the frames and the style I do them in, each page will have between 1 and 3 individual frames with a lot more written information [especially for the music composer, Sam Harris].
