Here’s a little extra that we couldn’t put on the DVD.

This is a very crude animatic of the opening childhood sequence from The Brothers Bloom (COUGH now available for rental on DVD and BluRay COUGH) that I created early in the pre-production process. As will be immediately and humiliatingly evident, I did all the voices myself. The artwork consists of storyboards by the very talented Daniele Auber, and it was all put together on my laptop in Final Cut Pro.

Minimal resources, very slapdash, but it ended up being an invaluable tool in showing both business and creative folks we were courting how the whole thing would come together.

I’m so happy this is on the internet. (also featuring one of my favorite lines, cut from the final film)
