Storyboard, Dream Weaver (215)

Greetings again from the seaQuest MPS blog, and today is a storyboard from the second season episode Dream Weaver.  This is a storyboard by Mark Simon, whose book I mentioned yesterday.  It covers the scene where Dagwood first finds Ortiz hiding from the alien, then smells the alien, he and the alien growl at each other and fight, before the alien gets shot multiple times and just wanders away.

In sum, Dream Weaver was a rip off homage to movies like Predator.  In the episode, special guest star Mark Hamill is an alien refugee who is being hunted by a predator-like alien whose embryo pod, for some reason, attaches to seaQuest.  What follows are lots of dark corridors and hunting, with a few jumps, fights, and laser blasts.  Not bad, not great, very middle of the road.

Below the jump, higher resolution photos of the storyboard and some comparisons to the shots in the finished episode.

Storyboards, Mark Simon's Storyboards: Motion in Art

A short post today on the seaQuest MPS blog.

Yesterday I posted a page from the pink revision of the Daggers script.  This script featured a deleted sequence with Brody being chased through the prison colony and diving into a tunnel with an escape pod.

What is really cool is that Mark Simon's Storyboards: Motion in Art includes numerous storyboards and production drawings from seaQuest, including the a sketch of the above-discussed deleted tunnel.

I encourage you to pick up Simon's book.  It is one of the few recently published books to have anything about seaQuest in it.
