From Slashfilm:
Recently we’ve been interested in seeing the pitch reels which filmmakers are crafting to try to convince studio executives to give them a chance. Most of the time these pitch reels come in the form of a sizzle reel/movie trailer, but other times the filmmakers focus on a sequence to show how they would handle the tone of a project.
When pitching for the directing job on Platinum Dunes’ Halloween remake, Federico D’Alessandro used his skills as an artist and animatics supervisor to create a very polished animatic, alongside some keyframes.
/Film: Federico D’Alessandro has one of the coolest jobs in the world. He’s the Head Storyboard Artist/Animatics Supervisor at Marvel Studios, meaning he gets to conceptualize all your favorite Marvel Movies from the earliest point in the process. (You might also remember him from this Halloween pitch reel.)
amazing - even more coherent than the film sequence eventually turned out to be. This guy did really well with this...
Very nice video plus there are some new details and dialogues in this scene and they should added that one on the final cut.
That was actually pretty damn good. I don't think they need to go remaking Halloween yet again, but I definitely like this guy's take on it there.
I've also seen his short horror film Recollection (y'all should check it out). This guy definitely has a knack for directing. He's got a good grasp on tone and suspense. I'd love to see him get some work and a chance to really prove himself.
