Absolutely loved @levgrossman.com’s THE BRIGHT SWORD. Really a must-read for any fans of Arhturiana and chivalric romance/adventure. Who do I gotta beg to direct or storyboard the adaptation??

Exquisite storyboard panel by Rodolfo DaMaggio from SOLACE (2015): notice how in the truck/boom shot, the perspective change of the background, from the boom lowering, is hidden with a "wipe" of a police motorcycle in the foreground

#art #filmsky
Storyboards from SOLACE (2015) by Rodolfo DaMaggio. In the first panel, a camera dolly moves across a police motorcade to a team of officers with a bloodhound. The camera perspective changes halfway through the drawing to become a lower angle, and the change in background is hidden with a police motorcycle in the foreground.

If you see this, post a sword ⚔️

I know I post this one a lot but (1) I still like it and (2) all my time/energy for new art is for work and/or under wraps
