Some filmmakers put storyboards, those comic book-looking shot plans you sometimes glimpse in making-of documentaries, at the center of their creative process. Terry Gilliam, he of Brazil and 12 Monkeys, has described storyboards as the one thing he can safely “lock onto” during the complicated, ever-shifting shooting process. Other filmmakers, such as the heartily improvisational Werner Herzog, have dismissed storyboards as the tool of “cowards,” of “those who lack imagination,” of “those who are bureaucratic and nothing else on the set.”
Having spent seven formative years in art school, Alien and Blade Runner director Ridley Scott develops his films by thinking as much through the framework of visual art as through that of cinema. In the video above, a laid-back Scott, cigar in hand, discusses how storyboards, sketches, and other pieces of hand-drawn imagery help him make movies. via @webacion Related Content: The Making of Blade Runner.
