THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL - Storyboard Animatic Introduction

As part of the planning process while making THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, director Wes Anderson made storyboards animatics to block out the scenes for filming each shot.

A story board that is every bit as engaging as the finished product has to be the most true test of a great scriptwriter and film

[saiashwin]

Please credit the storyboard artist Jay Clarke, many are thinking that Wes himself did these. This kind of thing is a common practice in productions especially big budget ones.

I'd watch a fully animated version just like this

[ElliotCoen]

I wish I could do storyboards like this for my short films! The visual style and framing really did translate from these storyboards to the final film.

I can almost hear the music in this scene <3

You'd think Wes Anderson of all people would know to get a pop filter. :P This is super cool! I'm waiting on my copy of this disc to arrive.
