Storyboarding Pirates

I just realised I havent been posting my storyboard project, so I will throw up 6 boards today. We have to draw boards for one of three scripts, so here is the script:

By Simon Daniels, Yuki Hau & Andy Guest

Final Draft, 19.11.2009

EXT. NIGHT

A calm sea and a full moon. The Pirate ship Narwhal is sailing away

from the bay of an island. We can just see a town where several

buildings are on fire.

INTERIOR: THE CAPTAINS QUARTERS.

The Pirate captain is sitting at his desk writing in the Ship’s Log.

The room is filled with all manner of booty.

August 13

surprise, so we did. Those landlubbers didn’t stand a chance! We

looted the Mayor’s Hall of all its lovely booty - the mates are a

proud crew indeed! Discovered a cave full o’ doubloons, we did, and

chest after chest of silver, all for the taking. Swiped enough

barrels of rum to keep these hearties happy for months!! We’re loaded

to the gunwhales, we are. The ship is ‘eavy and a-heavin and the lads

are as merry as sand turtles on a full moon night!

Cut to crew on deck night time, dancing and singing sea shanties. One

pirate plays an accordion and another plays a pipe as they sit on

coils of rope. Some pirates form a circle clapping while another

dances a drunken Hornpipe in the centre. He falls over and a hearty

cheer goes up. One pirate hangs by one arm from the rigging, waving a

jug of rum in the other. One pirate chases a monkey, which has stolen

his hat and is jumping along the mast. A parrot flaps around

squawking loudly.

The Captain narrates over the scene on the deck

CAPTAIN (Voiceover)

Just then it happened - came from nowhere she did - the mightiest

storm you’ll ever see in all the Seven Seas!

Thunder claps sound and lighting flashes, with forks dancing about

the mast & sails. Waves crash over the deck. The crew are crying out

and running to their action stations.

The ship is lifted high on a wave and plunges down into the trough.

Waves crash over the deck and wash into the hold where treasure is

piled up.

The Captain comes running out of his quarters and drags himself up

the stairs to the upper deck and the steering wheel. Rain pelting

down, high waves looming on all sides and the ship rocking violently.

CAPTAIN (shouting)

All hands ahoy! Square the main sail! Lower the riggin! (He wrestles

with the wheel) Swing us through, lads or we’ll all be sleeping on

the sea bed with the fishes tonight, so we will!

SAILOR’S VOICES

- The ship’s too heavy in the water, Cap’n!

th 1735: it has been a good ‘ole day. We took the town by

She’ll never make it to port!
