Zack Snyder Reveals Watchmen Storyboards

Director Zack Snyder has posted the two storyboards viewed below for his 2009 tent pole, Watchmen, on the film's official website. The storyboards, which map out scenes with Rorschach, can be seen as yet another gage of how faithful Snyder is staying to Alan Moore's championed graphic novel. Snyder goes into considerable detail about this aspect of his films, but here's a choice excerpt into his creative process regarding them...

In the past, once I had completed my sketches, I would have a clean up pass done by an artist. Lately, I have foregone that step. Instead, I opt to distribute my original boards. This speeds up the information dissemination process and also ensures that the boards going out to each of the various departments are 100% accurate and that no details are lost during an illustration polish pass.
