Due - Production Blog #2 - Storyboards



Scott has been really busy, putting his experience as a graphic designer to good use and coming up with some amazing storyboards.

Here we have the first part of the opening sequence. Maturin is running away from something unknown. We sense the terror but the persuer is still a mystery. Click the image for a bigger version

EXT. MOORLAND – DUSK

A panoramic shot of the moors. A speck moving across the landscape(board 1). It’s a man.

We move closer(2). MATURIN is running frantically. A gaunt looking man in his thirties(3). He’s wearing a shirt and trousers(4); completely unsuitable clothing. His legs and shoes are mud-splattered(5,6). His face is a mix of exhaustion and fear(7). We don’t see what he’s running from. We are level with the horizon(8,9); we gradually see his head dip below it.(10)

Location scouting is underway and the next blog will contain some comparative storyboards with location photos.

Due - Production Blog #1

Hey all. It only took a year between blogs.

This is where we will be posting production updates for Hallam Uni MA film shoots throughout the next year.

The film looking to be first out of the traps is "Due" by Tajinder Singh Hayer. A dark and mysterious film about a man who owes a debt and the collector looking for settlement.

The 3rd draft of the script is out and Scott is storyboarding as I type. We hope to get a few scans and script excerpts up so you can see the correlation between the two and how the develpoment is progressing, maybe even the odd rushes? Location scouting in earnest starts next week and casting calls are being arranged.

We are also in Pre-production on AJ's film "identity", Tonphon's film "In the Dark". We are also developing ideas by Joe and Kostas and hoping to bring a bit more info on these shortly.

In the meantime if anyone knows of a good dilapidated rural barn, with a rolling panoramic setting, give us a shout. We need it for the opening chase sequence in "Due".

See you later alligator
