1 00:00:11,259 --> 00:00:08,650 watch this scene carefully this is Jay 2 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:11,269 Todd Anderson top Hollywood storyboard 3 00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:15,530 artist he got here by praying of car and 4 00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:24,289 joy because to show me how he works 5 00:00:35,229 --> 00:00:26,480 he's storyboarded his own arrival to be 6 00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:35,239 interviewed the persons flying an 7 00:00:40,149 --> 00:00:38,089 airplane correct and you could probably 8 00:00:41,170 --> 00:00:40,159 see the image of the person inside the 9 00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:41,180 airplane correct 10 00:00:46,570 --> 00:00:43,879 that's your first shot now what is your 11 00:00:47,859 --> 00:00:46,580 next shot so let's just shoot through 12 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:47,869 the window well here he is 13 00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:50,210 he's in here so we'll probably cheat 14 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:53,900 this shot brings his watch up so I'll 15 00:00:59,649 --> 00:00:56,930 make a black arrow which will imply 16 00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:59,659 movement of the person that's set up to 17 00:01:03,369 --> 00:01:01,760 because the airplane lands on the runway 18 00:01:04,810 --> 00:01:03,379 straight down the middle is our access 19 00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:04,820 line of the camera right down the middle 20 00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:08,270 around the nose size of the airplane you 21 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:15,380 about that big playing stopped this is 22 00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:18,510 the secondary action the guy and he's 23 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,220 coming toward us right that's the end of 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:22,080 that setup right and the next setup it 25 00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:25,170 is here's the car and our guy will 26 00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:29,580 probably run into frame probably from 27 00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:33,720 the left-hand side and it's going to 28 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:36,270 drive away so you want to get low so you 29 00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:44,370 okay next setup so the car is entering 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:46,300 frame right so it's going to pull right 31 00:01:51,899 --> 00:01:49,050 dead on to the axis of the lens and stop 32 00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:51,909 you should stab my camera just a little 33 00:01:55,230 --> 00:01:54,040 low at the end of the hallway only 34 00:01:58,530 --> 00:01:55,240 suggestion okay 35 00:02:00,540 --> 00:01:58,540 you will be so low and cowboying into 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:00,550 the lens it's the right stuff shot that 37 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:03,970 we talked about good shot new deal okay 38 00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:07,840 how will this enter feature is that 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:22,570 doing the storyboard for a BBC arts 40 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:25,010 documentary is slumming it by Jay Todd 41 00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:27,530 standards he usually works for big-time 42 00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:31,430 movie makers like the Coen brothers for 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:33,590 every shot in all of their movies such 44 00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:35,690 as oh brother we're out there that are 45 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:38,350 drawing behind it by Jay Todd Anderson 46 00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:41,120 the storyboarding process is a practical 47 00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:43,190 tool used throughout the film business 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:45,470 that enables films to be made not just 49 00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:51,560 Johnathan's only parameters are there 50 00:02:57,550 --> 00:02:53,870 imagination 51 00:03:01,449 --> 00:02:57,560 it's my job to get what's inside of 52 00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:01,459 directors head on the paper it's not my 53 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:03,950 job to create the shots it's my job to 54 00:03:11,259 --> 00:03:07,010 interpret their language into a visual 55 00:03:15,339 --> 00:03:13,089 it's very important that I get as close 56 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:15,349 to the images in their brain on the 57 00:03:19,899 --> 00:03:18,290 paper so that everybody when they walk 58 00:03:21,849 --> 00:03:19,909 on the set is making the same movie 59 00:03:22,679 --> 00:03:21,859 they're not all imagining what's going 60 00:03:25,149 --> 00:03:22,689 on 61 00:03:26,890 --> 00:03:25,159 the drawings for a feature film take 62 00:03:28,809 --> 00:03:26,900 about six weeks to complete 63 00:03:30,970 --> 00:03:28,819 but they're not just static images they 64 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:30,980 have their own language a set of codes 65 00:03:39,369 --> 00:03:36,290 denoting action and movement oh my car 66 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:39,379 always depicts action by the characters 67 00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:42,290 or inanimate things anything it's moving 68 00:03:47,909 --> 00:03:44,000 within a frame or in and out of the 69 00:03:50,649 --> 00:03:47,919 frame is usually done with a black arrow 70 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:50,659 and that way you know instantly that 71 00:03:57,629 --> 00:03:53,840 it's action anything that has a big 72 00:04:00,429 --> 00:03:57,639 thick white arrow is generally camera 73 00:04:05,409 --> 00:04:00,439 because it's so easy to see immediately 74 00:04:07,059 --> 00:04:05,419 what's going on and you do that at the 75 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:07,069 end of the process what you get is like 76 00:04:11,409 --> 00:04:08,930 a comic strip version of the movie 77 00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:11,419 before the shooting even begins but 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:14,209 there's an analogy with high art - when 79 00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:16,010 old master paintings are x-rayed 80 00:04:21,039 --> 00:04:18,260 preparatory under drawings are often 81 00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:21,049 revealed and I think that's exactly what 82 00:04:26,649 --> 00:04:23,000 Jay Todd's pictures are for the movies 83 00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:26,659 under drawings for entire films the 84 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:27,860 framework that makes the whole 85 00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:31,310 composition possible take a scene he 86 00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:32,780 worked on from a movie directed by 87 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:33,800 George Clooney 88 00:04:38,379 --> 00:04:36,080 although Jay Todd's drawings remain 89 00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:38,389 hidden there beneath every single 90 00:04:43,899 --> 00:04:41,449 celluloid frame this is a sequence from 91 00:04:45,460 --> 00:04:43,909 one of my favorite projects I worked on 92 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:45,470 this was George Clooney's movie 93 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,760 sorry batch of teeth this falls in one 94 00:05:00,290 --> 00:04:54,840 of my favorites George it's such a 95 00:05:03,379 --> 00:05:00,300 vision and this is a really cool scene 96 00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:03,389 there this is when Sam as Chuck Barris 97 00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:05,400 the game show host has to go out and 98 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:08,460 make his first kill right after his 99 00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:11,250 message and there in the slab side to 100 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:12,750 Lincoln they're out there in the middle 101 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:19,650 of Mexico just driving around and sam is 102 00:05:24,409 --> 00:05:21,919 talking to the guy he's gonna kill 103 00:05:27,140 --> 00:05:24,419 camera goes down just as it goes down 104 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:27,150 pulls this gun out and it's time for him 105 00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:29,490 to kill him buddy he flinches for just a 106 00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:32,220 second and then a scuffle ensues and so 107 00:05:35,779 --> 00:05:33,780 he's struggling he's struggling and 108 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:35,789 usually what people do is just show just 109 00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:37,770 a small portion of the gun struggle they 110 00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:39,300 don't show the people struggling and 111 00:05:45,170 --> 00:05:41,880 then the gun goes off bang and it shoots 112 00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:45,180 the driver the driver falls forward and 113 00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:47,580 now the car doesn't go very fast it just 114 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:53,430 goes really slow and uh Sam brings the 115 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:55,289 gun up and he shoots at this guy and 116 00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:57,690 misses him and hits the door and as the 117 00:06:02,689 --> 00:06:00,419 guy trying to get away Sam shoots him in 118 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:02,699 the ass there and he's still not dead 119 00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:04,680 yet and all these people coming down the 120 00:06:08,029 --> 00:06:06,630 street and Sam looks down there and he's 121 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:08,039 got to do something you know because 122 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:09,630 they're going to create some sort of 123 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,210 distraction so he sang shut up and die 124 00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:13,840 shut up and die and he
