Today I'm sharing the work of storyboard artist Dan Schaefer (Leverage, Gone, James Bond Jr.).
His official site is filmstoryboards.com
Read his interview and check them out after the jump. Click the images to enlarge.
"The experience working on Grimm is usually one of being flexible
and fast. Meeting with the director (just before production or with
maybe some lead time) is the first phase." Schaefer said. "I will sit down with and
break down the script usually on the fly, creating boards based on what
location photos they have as well as actors, props and proposed CG.
Mostly I have little of this and have to do what I can to pre-visualize
the scene based on the director's interpretation of the script. Often
times the stunt coordinator, art director, First AD or props person will
be involved. I end up working with many departments, but it usually
begins and ends with the director. Sometimes I work over the phone to
break down a scene. It just depends on the situation.
"The
biggest challenge can be pre-referencing locations that don't yet exist
or are not found and making the staging work anyway. I did some work on
a scene that was supposed to be filmed in a pool in a basement that was
later changed to an entirely new location. Fortunately, the staging
stayed the same and our work was helpful.
"The time frame is a challenge
too. I usually have hours/minutes to do my work and not days.
Television is a very fast moving schedule and demands that you are
focused. My work is very similar on both Leverage (TNT) and Grimm (NBC)."
Thanks for answering Schaefer.
Here's a set of storyboards from Grimm Season 1, Episode 11: "Tarantella
