Santiago files-René Schneider assassination sequence
Santiago files is a documentary made and produced by Cetywa Powell in 2011. It tells the story of the Chili coup of 11 sept 1973, in particular how the CIA and the US government actively participated to the elimination of Allende and the arrival of Pinochet. I had to make 2 storyboards, that would be later on animated. This storyboard described the killing of General René Schneider, a pro Allende general killed during a kidnapping attempt in 1970. Only a few images were available on this tragic event, so the goal was to imagine the sequence of this kidnapping that went wrong. Cetywa sent me details based on testimonies (type of car involved, number of assaulters, location…) and I created the sequence. An animator made this storyboard a bit more alive, as it can be seen in the movie…
