Iron Man 3 Malibu scene in storyboards

While any job on a movie set could be worth taking, one of the most creative ones is that of a storyboard artist. The storyboard artist is the one who is given the initial task of bringing  alive the director's vision through sketches. He (or she) comes into play much before production work has commenced, creating the storyboards that will showcase how the scenes in the script can be created on the screen. The storyboard artist can be considered a director of sorts, who needs to have enough knowledge of film-making. The storyboards created by him are then used by the cinematographer during production to bring events on screen. 

Creating the storyboards is a hell of a job and ain't only about sketching away. This too, like many aspects in movie making, has evolved with time and become more technical and sharper. Federico D'Alessandro is one of the known names in this field, recently acting as the Head Storyboard Artist for Iron Man 3.  D'Alessandro recently shared the early storyboards of the now quite famous Malibu attack scene from the movie. It's a brilliant scene altogether, the final one which we saw in theatres, but it is equally brilliant when you see these storyboards taking shape. It becomes more impressive when you keep in mind that this footage has been created months before the production, and Shane Black has kept much of it the same in the final shot. There are a few interesting differences though, especially one with how the classic old suits got blown away, which a geeky movie lover can enjoy!
