Here's a film to storyboard comparison from the movie Star Trek: First Contact. Roger Ebert considers it one of the best Star Trek films and it made $146 million worldwide. First Contact was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup and won three Saturn Awards.
One of my favorite scenes is when Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), Data (Brent Spiner) and Worf (Michael Dorn) go onto the saucer section of the Enterprise to stop the Borg invasion.
The storyboardThe storyboard artist is John Mann (Iron Man 2, Superman Returns, xXx) [I contacted John Mann and, while he did work on the film, this storyboard isn't his] has a great sense of tension. This video originally appeared on StarTrek.com.
Wikipedia Synopsis:
Star Trek: First Contact is a 1996 American science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures. It is the eighth feature film in the Star Trek science fiction franchise and the first film to feature no cast members from the original Star Trek television series of the 1960s. The primary cast for First Contact is from the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series, to which the film's producers added Alice Krige, Neal McDonough, James Cromwell and Alfre Woodard. In the film's plot, the crew of the USS Enterprise-E travel from the 24th to 21st century to save their future after the cybernetic Borg conquered Earth by changing the timeline.

I just watched this movie again a few nights ago. Funny. This was pretty cool to see, especially so soon after seeing the film.
ReplyDeleteA few changes in angle and positioning. Walking on the outer hull of a spaceship would be beyond freaky.
ReplyDeleteAnd still the best Star Trek ever.
Worfs fond farewell for the Borg makes all the difference in the deflector dish shootout. Yesss! ASSIMILATE THIS!
ReplyDeleteGreat line. I still remember hearing the audience cheering.
