Saul Bass and his famous Storyboards

Story Board artist for Hitchcocks famous Shower scene and for the film Sparticus. I think it's quite nice to see the story board for Sparticus as it has colour and a bit more freedom than Bass had for Hitchcock. When the first project was to do a storyboard I knew I had a blog post for this. I love story boarding, I find it so therapeutic and compelling.

 However for Hitchcock he took this process to a whole new level, where the storyboard was the film. He was so anal about his instruction he got the film drawn out in so much detail he knew what it was going to look like before he'd finished it and during filming actually got bored during because he'd already planned it all and done all the creative process. The man was a crazy genius when it came to directing and I'm sure there's lots I could say about his mad methods however I want this post to resonate the beauty in his storyboards and how well planned they all are, bear witness and enjoy.
