Smokestack Redwoods Storyboard (WIP)
Smokestack Redwoods is a WIP student film I'm currently working on as Lead Storyboard Artist. The story follows Terrance, a young adult struggling to find himself after losing his father. Disconnected from his mother his only remaining family, he begins isolating himself and slowly dissociating from reality. Then one day, during his normal routine he starts experiencing strange sensations of a presence following him. He doesn't discover who or what it is until the very end as his search for answers leads him to encounter strange characters who help guide him toward the truth, all while his mother and therapist try to make sense of what's happening to him.
These storyboards are what I'm able to share of my work so far, since the originals are hand drawn and held by the director. They're some of my favorite shots from the project especially the refined ones, which really capture just how far Terrance has slipped from reality.
