Storyboard Refference: Moulin Rouge!

Moulin Rouge! (2001) is a cinematic masterpiece directed by Baz Luhrman, as it's usual for Luhrmans movies, in the center of attention is a love story, but what keeps it from being cliche is the creative approach. It is fast paced, a bit chaotic in montage, colorful, and character actions are well exaggerated, it has everything: it is extravagant and settle where it needs to be.
Moulin Rouge! is one of my favorite movies, therefore it was interesting to look into its pre-production. The storyboard artist for this movie is none other than David Russell. He is one of the top Hollywood's concept and storyboard artists and in all fairness he's the perfect artist for such a complex movie. This is the storyboard for Satine's (leading female character) entrance scene in the movie (which by the way is my favorite scene in the whole movie). It is really apparent that Russell didn't shy way from portraying complex camera movements, character action mapping and compositions. The drawing style is clear, the ruff lines bring more dynamic feel to the panels. It is just mind numbing to me, trying to image how he came up with such genius physical sequences.
