Screenshots from my storyboard on chapter 6-7 of Gideon the Ninth.
Very very rough, and my character design is very inconsistent, but I still like them tho
I wanted to capture Harrow’s sorrow leaving the ninth house, which is briefly but kinda beautifully expressed in GtN, even through Gideon’s bored pov . I feel that the “unrealiable narrator” trope of the first book (also present through all the other books tbh) could risk losing its spark in a potential visual adaptation, but Im pretty sure that you could have a really cheesy score (or mise en scene, like in this case) to undermine the drama enough that it feels like we’re witnessing it from Gideon’s eyes. But on a second view you could really percieve Harrow’s sadness, bypassing Gideon’s cringe, and instantly it’s not cheesy anymore. Dont know if it makes sense but whatever.
Bonus third house and sixth house during the shuttle falling sequence in canaan house.
