10 Storyboards

Movies don't exist without proper and skilled storyboarding. All big time films have them. They are pretty amazing to see as the early conceptualization for the iconic films out there. Here are 10:

It's Hip To Be Square

Not that I rock out to Huey Lewis and the News often... or ever... but, It's Hip To Be Square has forever been redefined as a perfect song to kill someone with an ax to. The upbeat tempo is great for finding that extra bit of energy you need to properly swing that ax. I sound a little like Patrick Bateman describing this any further. Just watch the clip.



That was a great scene, but also, that was a great composition - black, white and red prominently shown in each still. Yum.

One Word Is Too Often Profaned

One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling to falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it;
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.

I can give not what men call love,
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not, -
The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
That devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?


by Percy Bysshe Shelley
