Mood-boards Part 1

Before doing a proper storyboard or designing models its an idea to do mood boards to get inspiration. I have done several for this reason starting with the planes, ships and the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The images used I found on the web,  they are a collection actual photos of the ships, planes and events Pearl Harbor and other images based on them.

The Attack:

I looked up photographs from the attack and scene shots of the movie for the attack.

 The American Fleet and Aircraft:

Most of the ships that were in the harbor were Battleships as such the ship images are those of the Battleship 44  'California'. There were several types of plane at the airbase however the most common was the P40 Warhawks these are the ones that I looked up.

 

The Japanese Fleet and Aircraft:

For the Japanese Carriers I looked for the images of three of the ships that took part in the attack, the Akagi, the Kaga and the Hiryu. The planes are the three types used in the attack the Aichi 3A2 Val Type 99, the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Model 11 and the Nakajima B5N2 Kate Type 97 Model 12.
