Interesting Storyboards

While I was working on my storyboard for Short Sighted  I came across an interesting book in the library containing all sorts of different kind of storyboards. Some of them were from very famous movies such as Psycho, Star Wars and many more. I picked out the ones which interested me most from the book, due to the style of drawing our the clouring used. 

 

Gone with the Wind (1939)

Director: Victor Fleming 

Storyboards: William Cameron Menzies

 I remember this movie well. When I was a child my grandmother was always watching it. From this movie I learned my first word which was Scarlett, the name of the main female role. I love the way colour is used in this storyboard.

Psycho (1960)

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Storyboards: Saul Bass

 I like the Sketchy comic style that was used for this storyboard. 

The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958)

Director Mark Robson

Storyboards: Olga Lehmann; production design by John Box

This one is sooooo colourful and it has so much details but is still somehow sketchy, I like that.

 

Spartacus (1960)
 

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Storyboards: Saul Bass ( as visual consultant)

I like the sketchy look.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

 

Director: Francis Ford Coppola

Storyboard: Alex Tavoularis and Thomas A. Wright

This one is super sketchy with little colour but it just looks so awesome.

 

 Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
 

Director: Steven Spielberg

Storyboards: Ed Verreaux

I like the comic-look and the way I can easily imagine the green smoke stuff to move.

 

 Animal Farm (1954)
 

Director: John Halas and Joy Batchelor 

Storyboards: Phillip Stapp

Despite the actual content of what happens in the storyboard it looks very friendly like in children's books. I also like the fact that each picture looks like a painting.

  

 The Wrong Trousers (1993)
 

Director: Nick Park

Storyboards: Nick Park

What I like about this storyboard is that I can easily imagine the scene happening in my head from just looking at it.

 

 Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
 

Director: Guillermo del Toro

Storyboards: Raul Monge 

This storyboard is drawn very nicely with much detail and it is easy to imagine the scene happening.

 

 Anna Karenina (2012)
 

Director: Joe Wright

Storyboards: David Allcock

What I like about this storyboard is that it looks like a proper comic.

Overall I think my favourite types of storyboards ate the sketchy ones.
