Story Boards - Act 1a *click image to view*

With more revisions to the script, I decided to test some of the scenes by making some storyboards.

Storyboards are a useful technique when wanting to pre-visualize a script. Although some may get very detailed, storyboards tend to be rough and try to communicate the most in direction, composition and timing, without dedicating valuable time and effort.

Unfortunately, posting all the storyboards would take up too much space on the blog. perhaps on a later date I will post a link to a viewable slide show. The posted picture is a shot from Coleman's introduction.

This scene not only eventually shows Coleman's affection to Nika, but a great spot for a gag.

Coleman is happily working under a hood of a spacerod. First tightening a plasma coil on one side ad then the other. While tightening the left, the other pops and spews forth. Quickly tightening the loose coil, the other coil pops and spews. Returning to both and making sure they are secure, Coleman is satisfied. Suddenly Nika's name and face are mentioned on the TV. In excitement he hits his head on the underside of the car hood, falling to the ground. The two coils burst and spew forth. Shaking off the injury Coleman obsessively looks at Nika's image in the monitor and dreams of the two of them frolicking in space.

That's it for now folks,

Alex
