The success of "The Hunt" lies in a strong storyboarding phase. Everything was planned, from overall composition to the placement of a single blade of grass. The film was created to be super strong but very economical—these limitations made us focus on what really matters.
This is the most important (and favourite) part of the filmmaking process.
Eventually, I'll release the full animatic/storyboards once more people have seen the film.
Spoilers ahead.
