Abyss (The)

An original storyboard sequence used in the production of The Abyss, the 1989 science fiction adventure picture directed by James Cameron.

These storyboards were created by John Bruno and Phillip Norwood and utilised during the production of the Academy Award winning visual effects sequences. This storyboard sequence covers the memorable scenes leading up to Coffey's (Michael Biehn) demise as Lindsey (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and Bud (Ed Harris) pursue him in Cab One.

The production issued storyboard sequence is dated April 1988 and comprises of over thirty printed illustrations spanning a total of 20 pages to include shot by shot breakdowns with extremely detailed notes on the action taking place and how each shot was to be achieved through the use of miniatures and other special effects techniques, some pages featuring minor hand inscribed annotations in pencil.
