Textual storyboarding time! Picture if you will.......



-Opposite side of the ship. Close head shot. A viking looks out at the distance. War drum and male choir accompaniment.

-Slow zoom out ~10 feet. Our viking is standing on the deck of a ship. Another viking passes behind him, arms full of supplies.

-Continue slow zoom out ~20 feet, careful to not show anything below the "water line" revealing more of the deck and a few more vikings working diligently.

-Our viking turns away. Begin camera crane rotation towards bow (camera facing stern) while continually zooming out, slowly revealing nonstandard (for historical vikings) technology, wires, metal guns, smoke stacks.

-Camera is at the bow looking sternward, still zooming out. Tall curved prow obscures most of the upper deck. Bottom edge of camera frame is just above the bottom of the ship, audience should notice lack of water.

-Camera continues rotation movement towards this side of ship (as pictured in the concept art) while zooming out to full concept art frame revealing the ship flies and is not your good old fashioned viking ship that the audience was initially led to believe. Our viking can be seen issuing commands while walking sternward. Cue more awesome music, sound sweeteners.
