Highlander Storyboards


Although many, many storyboard panels were drawn by various artists in preparation  for the filming of Russell Mulcahy's 1985 film, "Highlander", very few seem to have come to light over time, though they may no doubt resurface
at some point in the future.

The panels that comprise the exclusive A2 art print licensed by StudioCanal  were drawn by Ravi Swami after principal photography had been completed, as a guide for the animators tasked with creating the pre-digital hand-drawn animated visual effects at the film's climax, much of which has also disappeared since the film was completed.

The A2 print scale was chosen to best reproduce the individual pencil-drawn panels as a sequence, comprising a selection of panels from the entire sequence to best illustrate the visual choreography while also keeping in mind the issue of print
dimensions.

Why only 300 in number ?

A limited run emphasises the exclusivity of the print, also reflected in the choice of paper and print quality, of high resolution scans of the original pencil drawings, while also keeping mind affordability as an item that will hopefully be desired by fans and memorabilia collectors alike.

*Each print comes with a certificate of authenticity and print number
to ensure its exclusivity*
