Aslan’s Country has posted an interview with Narnia storyboard artist Tom Nelson.  He speaks about his time working on the Narnia films, as well as working with both Andrew Adamson and Michael Apted.  He also goes into how he got into storyboarding as well as the process of storyboarding.  He’s storyboarded on both Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  It’s a great little interview, and I hope that you enjoy it.
