Moon

An original animatic storyboard from the production of Moon, the acclaimed science fiction drama directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell.

During the production of Moon very few traditional storyboards were created due to time and budget constraints and so it was decided to simplify this process using animatics, a motion graphics sequence intended to provide a better idea of how the scene will look and feel, they are also useful for determining camera positioning and identifying any potential issues before filming. The job of producing these animatics fell to conceptual designer Gavin Rothery who produced a number of sequences, the frames were printed out and pinned to boards in the sound stage during production to give the crew a better understanding of the shots required.

This animatics board shows the Rover exterior and features some hand annotations including stating that this shot was to be binned in favour of a full model effects shot. Boards similar to this can clearly be seen pinned to the wall on The Making of Moon documentary featured on the DVD extras.

The board is A4 in size and is in good condition with some small pinholes from production use.

An affordable and displayable artefact from this already cult science fiction masterpiece.
