Boarding

Storyboarding is always great. It’s just amazing to see how everything takes form on paper, transforming into the bigger picture of a film — it’s simply thinking with a pen.
In the last couple of weeks I started not only to define the amount, order and settings of the scenes but also the style of the character and the environment. It helps bringing these necessary things on paper as early as possible in the process of creating a film, just to get everything started.
The current storyboard for The Lighthouse consists of 31 frames – but will receive additional ones within the next couple of days and weeks. And most definitely when I’ll be doing the animated storyboard. At the end though, just the ones which communicate the story in the most emotional and successful way will make it into the film.
