Thick As Thieves - Behind the Scenes Storyboard Reel

Independent Films, Animated

This is the storyboard reel (animatic) that I cut together before production began on the Thick As Thieves music video.

This reel was mainly used to work out timing for the video. Because the spinning globe in the final video needed to spin at a constant rate, there was a lot of math involved with getting visual cues to match up with the music.

This reel informed me when every major event needed to be on screen, and I reverse-engineered the timing of the globe from there.

Drawings were made by myself, Andrew Wilson (andrewewilson.blogspot.com), and Carla Veldman (dekunst.blogspot.com).
