Interview with Storyboard Artist Kurt Van der Basch (Star Wars Episodes VII and VIII)

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

A storyboard artist, or story artist, creates storyboards for film productions that are generally for large scope scenes, actions, and/or camera movements. The artist visualizes the story in collaboration with the director and sketches frames of the story on paper.

It was an honor to sit down with the brilliant storyboard artist Kurt Van der Basch, who is currently working on Star Wars: Episode VIII. Of course he’s not allowed to talk about it, or the past Star Wars film he worked on, which is fine because there are so many other questions to ask him.

Please go to his website or follow him on Facebook and view 100s of storyboards from his various credits, including: Assassin’s Creed, Sense8, The Borgias, Chronicles of Narnia, and The Illusionist, to name a few.
