Boards of Stories






According to The Filmmaker's Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide For The Digital Age "a storyboard is made for a scene, each shot is drawn as one or more still images, noting camera and actor movements." Being that my drawing sucks donkey ass I elected to take pictures for my storyboards. Obviously I needed some help with that so I recruited some friends*, filled their bellies full of food and alcohol, threw an axe in the mix, and the rest is history. Some of the above pics I am using for storyboards (pics 1 & 4) the others I threw in cuz' they make me smile. To get a feel for the piece we did a screenplay read-through, which helped immensely to hear a male and female read the parts, and then we cast my film by watching the audition tapes and discussing my shortlist of actors. Surprisingly enough, my shortlist vibed with everyone else. I plan on doing this from here on out with an ever expanding and revolving group of friends.

Is Baru licking JT to death, or killing him slowly with her breath?

A few things...
1. It's Beru, Samantha.
2. She does not have bad breath. Bhodi on the other hand, does have bad breath.
3. She is licking him.
4. Team Fingerbang Films doesn't quite have the feel that I am going for.
