Storyboards drawn up by an 11-year-old Martin Scorsese for The Eternal City, an imaginary widescreen Roman epic he dreamed of making. His “cast” included Marlon Brando, Virginia Mayo, Alec Guinness, and Richard Burton. (via)

Grant Williams in The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, dir. Jack Arnold), the story of a man who starts shrinking after he’s exposed to a radioactive cloud.
To film a scene in which Williams battles a tarantula, Arnold filmed a real Panamanian tarantula. He put the film of the tarantula in the ground glass of the camera, moved Williams into a matching position on oversize sets, and then had him count to the beat of a metronome to match his movements to those of the tarantula.
