Starship Troopers Storyboard Hopper Bugs Dive on Whiskey Outpost, Production Use

This is a production used storyboard from the 1997 film Starship Troopers, starring Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico. This came from Phil Tippett's studio via the official auction.

This shot from the Planet P sequence shows a formation of Hopper bugs swooping down on Whiskey Outpost from above, with notes referencing the "1st shot of Hoppers" and a close-up on the stinger as the first wave comes out of the sun. The aerial wide shot captures the outpost compound below surrounded by the rocky terrain as the winged bugs close in.

The storyboard ships in a clear sheet protector, packed with protective padding inside a rigid cardboard envelope, and boxed in an oversize outer box via USPS Priority Mail. It is accompanied by a custom certificate of authenticity featuring a color photo of your specific piece, holographic and embossed anti-copy seals, a counterfeit-resistant background, and full production and item details — all housed in a rigid protective case.

Please note: while this is a genuine production used piece — distributed and utilized during the making of the film — it is not the hand-drawn original artwork. Production copies of the original were made and issued to directors, editors, and special effects staff for use on set. This is one of those copies.
