28 Weeks Later Animatic
After November came out, I pitched on a bunch of horror and thriller scripts. Not that that was my interest exactly, but that’s was my agents’ best guess for selling me to studios. Most of the scripts I can’t say I was excited to pitch on, but there was one I was in love with: the sequel to 28 Days Later.
As part of my pitch to the producers, I created this seven-minute animatic based on one of the scenes from an early draft of the script. I used it not only as an opportunity to show my interpretation of the material but my enthusiasm for the project as well.
Given my two features, I wasn’t an obvious fit for the material, and in the end I think the producers had their heart set on director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo all along (who directed Intacto and ended up directing 28 Weeks Later). But the animatic works as a short film of its own and I thought it’d be interesting to share here.
