       This next item is more about Storyboarding than the
       sci-fi/horror flick. I found this video comparison
       fascinating...

       issue detailing the design and implementation of many of The
       Thing’s effects sequences.
       The visuals of both the desolate Antarctic and the ever-morphing
       alien creatures in The Thing were envisioned long before the
       movie was shot. Extensive storyboards were drawn by artist
       Michael Ploog so that all the departments of the production were
       on the same page in their preparation for the shoot. This is
       nothing new… but the similarity between the storyboards and the
       final imagery shot by legendary DP Dean Cundey is staggering.
       Storyboards are often only a guide, but in this film they were
       so specifically rendered that they became gospel. The detail and
       artistry of Ploog’s work up front, allowed the crew to have
       clear and defined goals on those frigid shooting days in both
       Alaska and Canada. [/quote]

       [quote]o demonstrate this point… I’ve taken two scenes from The
       Thing and laid down the storyboards next to the shots in the
       final edit of the film. The video below examines the discovery
       of the alien spaceship and the transformation of Norris in the
       shocking scene that still haunts me today. Just like Hitchcock
       worked with Saul Bass to create the famous shower scene in
       Psycho, Ploog crafted beautiful storyboards for Carpenter so
       that the time on set was best utilized to tell the story. Be it
       pencil to paper or an iPad app filmmakers can share the
       envisionment of the worlds they are creating by using
       storyboards. —Vashi Nedomansky, The Thing: Storyboards to Film

       Great thread idea. I'm always looking for storyboard artist on
       YouTube. I actually spent some time a few days ago watching
       some. I just like to watch people fleshing out their point of
       view from script to page.

       That would be cool.
       Whenever I see 'storyboard' articles like this, it's way after
       the fact.
