Storyboards and Animatics

I pulled together a collection of some of the storyboards I've done over the years that have made it online. It's a curious mix of quick thumbnail storyboards and more carefully illustrated panels. Most of these projects I've essentially been the Director and primary artist so I could get away with what ever it took to get the point across and rarely had to take it further than that. Someday I'd love to get my hands on a Cintiq and some proper storyboard software to do something quicker and prettier, even better would be a tablet setup so I can create without being locked to a desk. So far most of my storyboarding tends to be in little boxes on standard paper (A4 or letter format), scanned in and arranged in Premiere to a temporary soundtrack.

 

For further details here's a summary page about the projects I've storyboarded on over the years.

Skylanders Swap Force - Commercial

Wow that was fast. I only just finished working on this spot Monday night, and it hit all the news portals immediately turning up on dozens of YouTube channels by Tuesday!

I worked, primarily on the last two Kaos shots, the ones with the Duck and Baby legs. I also helped out with a few other things including the text and titles. It was an incredibly quick turn around and the small team at Logan did a great job given the schedule.

The Ocean Maker - Short Film

As many of you know Lucas Martell started a new short film and I got reluctantly roped into it [rolls eyes]... just kidding, it's been pretty awesome working with one of my very best friends. He just posted his new website and along with it some images and video (included in his reel).

I've been a bit busy lately getting setup in LA, but hopefully I'll find some time to get back to helping out on this thing. This is Lucas's baby but really want to follow through on it and make it the best it can be. We've put a lot of time into it already... well I say that but actually I've only worked a couple of months on it solidly... it's just that this things has come together so quickly that a couple of months is a big slice of the overall production schedule. This is a far cry from our previous films, Pigeon Impossible and Devils, Angels and Dating, both eating up over five years of our lives.
