This would be drawn my Sean Murphy in an
ideal world.
PAGE 1 – 7 PANELS.
1.1 Wide. The bleak white expanse of
Antarctica, the sky is nearly as clear and white as the blanket of snow on the
ground. A row of bright orange and yellow tents dots the horizon, standing tall
behind them is a selection of HALLEY VI ANTARTIC RESEARCH STATIONS, in blues
and oranges. To one side of the research station is a DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR.
Researcher
BROOKS (Coming from inside the research station): I think this might work.
1.2 Pulling inside the research station. A
group of researchers huddle around a sleek, futuristic looking monitor.
Researcher Brooks sits centrally to the monitor.
The screen displays a weather radar image
of the local area. The image shows a large swirling blue weather cloud-moving
in. (Reference
something like this.)
RESEARCHER BROOKS: This is unprecedented. Fisher,
check the scans.
1.3 Tight on RESEARCHER FISHER, she looks
astonished. Her breath clouds up as she speaks.
FISHER: No need to check the scans. But we
might want to turn the heating up.
1.4 Close up on the thermostat built into
the wall. The thermostat reads - 57°C

1.5 A Polar bear stands on a
tall and thin piece of ice in the middle of the ocean. His four paws close
together as he tries to stay balanced. The bear looks down worried towards
the ocean below.
NO COPY.
1.6 The Polar Bear suddenly
has more room as the ice grows and forms a mini ice island. The bear looks up
towards the suddenly dark sky.
NO COPY.
1.7 Wide. STORM floats in the
air over the ocean. Her cape and Mohawk sway in the strong winds that she whips
around herself. Dark clouds form overhead and large snowflakes are falling.
ICEMAN (Bobby) skates over the
ocean on a path made of thick ice. From his hands he sprays even more ice this
is the source of the bears new island.
STORM: You feeling the breeze
yet Bobby?
ICEMAN: I might break a sweat
I’m so hot.
STORM: Always with the smart
mouth young man.
I liked the build up inside the station. I was waiting for The Thing (not Ben Grimm) to show up... but of course I think of The Thing every time I hear Antarctica!
ReplyDeleteNice build up and I liked the interplay between Bobby and Ororo.
ReplyDeleteThat said, for a second there, I was expecting a Storm vs Polar Bear fight. Which would have been amazing.
