The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: TRAINSTATION Pt. 2

One of the highlights of my art career was working on the Narnia films. It was my first experience working on a major film and director Andrew Adamson might well have been the best creative boss I've ever experienced. Being hired was simply serendipity, and the work lasted for almost five years. And I got to travel to New Zealand and Prague as an added perk.

Below is the second part of one of the  better  sections of the storyboards that I did. With the outbreak of WWII , Peter, Susan, Edwin and Lucy as leaving a bombed ravaged London to the safe English countryside.  

Mrs. Pevensie check papers and makes sure all the kids have what they need.


As mom hugs oldest son Peter who spies  a group of young soldiers, no more than a year older than hiim.


Peter wants to make contact with mom, but hesitates. Lucy takes his hand in sympathy.



Some of these frames were done as inserts in New Zealand, after the actual train set was built and we could see what was available to actually shoot from. 

Mom gives all the kids a final goodbye and they head onto the loading platform.
The gate is closed between the parents and their children as train prepares to leave.





(A few of these shots aren't in quite the sequence they should have been.)









Next week a new story at Voxcomix. Join us then.  Best, Mike
