Storyboards - No Country For Old Men

No Country For Old Men (2007) - Storyboard Artist: J. Todd Anderson

With 'No Country For Old Men' being one of my favourite films, viewing the storyboard for it makes it even better. Despite the serious, quite formal film, I love the enthusiasm and 'cartoony' appearance of the storyboard, especially the use of onomatopoeias, for example, 'Blam'. The storyboard gives an additional appeal to the more mature topic and scenes of the film. Furthermore I find Anderson's style appealing and his determination to draw outside the panels as well as in. Not only does this give more understanding to the viewer but also emphasises on the fact that it is simply just a rough draft, making it more approachable and joyful.
