Old Mister Glasses Storyboards

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I found these two Mister Glasses storyboards in a file marked “Comedy.” The numbers in the corner seem to indicate there were at least 4 of them. Pretty fun, I think.

It’s funny—I used to rather meticulously storyboard my videos, partly because that’s what Steven D. Katz told me to do in Film Directing Shot by Shot. It’s a huge pain in the ass. And looking at these now, I can’t imagine them being a whole lot of help. Did I really need to show very normal head-and-shoulders close-ups in storyboard? I could have just written “CU” on a piece of paper and called it a day. I just got back from LA where I wrote and directed a couple of webseries for Funny or Die and didn’t storyboard a thing*. Sorry Steven D. Katz.

*not entirely true, but for the sake of a clean narrative line in this blog post, let’s assume it’s true.
