One of the most exciting parts of film making is storyboarding. It's when you reach deep into the abstract linguistic part of your brain that reads the script and transfuse those mental images to a blank sheet of paper you grasp a hint of the film's visual reality.
You decide how you want your audience to look at your character. Where you want to move them through the six dimensions of free movement (x, y, z, and rotation about those axises)--available in the real realm and expanded through camera rigs (ex. flying with Spiderman). Cuts and transitions and effects and audio track--the first breathes exhale across the drafting board.
The script of a film wraps its visual and audio elements around it like a sumptuous garment. The body may be frail; the robe may be garish. The frame may be heavy; the color palette subtle. In storyboarding, you begin to create the script's wardrobe, to fashion a statement, to bring it to life, and present it to the world. The small, black and white strokes of a thick ink pen are the first unfurling tendrils of the film.
So please enjoy and comment on the storyboards for "The Perfect Man". (Note: they are in reverse order, beginning to the left of this paragraph and traveling back up the blog to the top.)
