FIVE – 7 PANELS.
5.1 CU
on Wolverine’s nose. His nostrils
are flared, his nose wrinkled as he sniffs the air.
SFX:
Sniff.
Sniff.
5.2
CU on Wolverine’s mouth, a sly grin creeping up one side of it. Stubble covers
his chin.
WOLVERINE:
Thought
I’d lost you. Guess your nose is
better than mine.
5.3
Wide panel, a bleak and barren snowy wilderness. Through a clearing in a patch
of leafless tress we see a large WOLF, teeth showing, dripping in saliva. Its
head lowered, front legs down, ready to make its move on its prey, on
Wolverine.
NO
COPY.
5.4
Classic showdown profile shot. Snow has covered everything in a blanket of
white all we can see are the Wolf on the left and Wolverine, in a tattered and
torn X-men uniform still stained in his blood standing on the right. Both are
paused waiting for the other to react to rashly.
NO
COPY.
5.5
CU on Wolverines clenched fist.
WOLVERINE:
Now lets
see who has the sharpest claws bub.
5.6
Repeat CU on Wolverines clenched fist. However now Wolverine has popped his
claws.
SFX:
Snikt
5.7
Repeat panel of 5.4 the showdown panel. Wolverines claws are now popped and his
arms held up in front of him ready to fight.
The
white B/G is now dotted with half a dozen pairs of glowing WOLVES eyes, the
rest of the pack.
NO
COPY.
Really enjoyed this page Shaun. For some reason I had Sam Kieth artwork in my head.
ReplyDeleteReally like the pacing you've built. The shots of the snikt are a staple of Wolverine comics, but used to good effect here.
As I pictured p3 as quite a white shot, the desc of the glowing eyes in 7 threw me a bit. Perhaps you could suggest their shadowy figures through the snow haze instead of the eyes.
Great work dude.
There's a great quiet stillness here, that I was also going for in my script this week. It shows how Wolverine doesn't need to go berserk to be ruthless. Great final image too, but Wolverine's line at the end does offset the tone a bit.
