Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 8,505 Location: Surfing the Net Interview with Storyboard Artist Steve Werblun « Thread Started on Jun 25, 2004, 10:08am » I've been completely jazzed about this one since Steve first offered to do an interview for the site on the day I left for Germany. In fact, I have to confess that I even worked on in it during vacation & it was pure pleasure to do so. Now busting with pride & excitement I can finally share it with you guys on the board first before I even get it on the front page. If you have any comments for Steve just leave them on this thread because I'll be forwarding the link to him...ENJOY!! "I did have some creative input as far as the shots go. The most noteworthy sequence being when Preston surfs the door into the blackened room in the "Opening Raid Sequence". Kurt directed me all of the way up to the door and as Preston crashes through it. Then, he asked me...while it was pitch black in the room, to design 12 different positions from which Preston would fire both of his guns at the rebels, laying in wait for him around the perimeter of the room. All of these shots were to be viewed as if in a strobe light effect...and he shot it exactly that way. I am very pleased to say that Kurt used most of my poses in this sequence...and it remains my favorite of all the storyboard sequences I've ever done. " Read complete interview here...

What strikes me again is that how amazing the making of EQ actually is...the fact that Steve Werblum felt special because of his relationship with Kurt and the way that his visuals were reproduced so authentically...

I mean the storyboards & conceptuals are a major aspect of filmmaking that lives on long after a film is released just like the costumes, some of the props scripts... I really find it odd & unfortunate that they get over looked like they do. IMDb does not even list some of the work that they do. Steve certainly does not have all of his credits there...I think that I'll need to go fix that myself!! « Last Edit: Jun 26, 2004, 8:23pm by JenGe » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." - Truman Show JenGe Evidentiary Storage Officer member is offline "Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt."

He gave me a bunch of storyboards to put on the site, the first of which I should have done sometime by the end of this week or early next week. He really loves the "darkroom" sequence as he mentioned in the interview so I'll be covering that first. Hopefully with comparison shots from the film. Now for the surprise...He gave me a more current version of Equilibrium's script to place on the site. The one there now is an earlier version and this one is a lot closer to the "shooting" script (I think). Well, needless to say once I have it done there should be two version of the script on site to compare. (Wooohooo!!) Anyway, thanks to Steve with all my heart for giving me this stuff to add to the site. I'll be busy scanning for months!! ***HUGS!!!*** For updates on his stuff just check back here or click on "Notify" for this thread. I'll post all his additions as I finish with them on this thread.
