I’ve just finished the pre-viz storyboards for “A Day in the Life of a Bathroom Mirror”, a comedy short film I’m directing in Manchester this weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve done a short as I’ve been concentrating on the features front but I came across this great script and fell in love with it. It’s going to be a highly visual piece shot on a specially designed set to pull off some clever little optical tricks I’m planning. A normal bathroom is such a small space to work with so a set is necessary in order to allow the camera to be unrestricted in it’s movement. That’s why I love a good pre-viz (pre-visualisation) which allows me to find the shots before I even get to set. With one day to shoot and an ambitious amount of shots that’s valuable shooting time saved already…

Once the short is complete, we’ll release a side by side comparison with my original boards and see how close we get!
