storyboards etc.

Well, the movie’s out, so here goes nothing. To see some storyboards I did for this film, click on the images above – each will take you to two different sequences. Fun stuff to draw! I like the director, Jimmy Hayward, he seemed like a nice guy and was easy to work with. Here’s to hoping he gets another film.
Hey,
Just updated the ‘sketches’ page with a sketchbook gallery – ’cause watching people mess up their drawings is fun. If you’ve been cruising by this site for a while, some of it’s repeats, but it’ll keep growing, don’t you fret.
Don’t even bother asking why a ‘sketches’ page never had a ‘sketchbook’ gallery in it before. I don’t know!? Just think of that page as a great BIIIG sketchbook full of crap of all sorts and I’m sparing you the trouble of sorting it out.
Lately I’ve been into horsies. Girls, you’re right – they ARE fun to draw. Once you figure them out, anyway. Which I’m still doing…I have to admit I’ve always had fun drawing naked ladies. But I digress.
Just to see if I can break my blog, I’ll slap the sketchbook gallery up – here ya goes:
Don’t forget to cruise the ‘sketches’ section whenever you get sick of reading me blather on about work. My mum reads this blog, so I gotsta fill it in with stuff like that. HA!
I like to pull out a photo taken from the last gig every once in a while, just to reminisce. Man, this crew we had was fun.
We’re missing master board artists Charlie Bonifacio, Gary Dunn & Dean Roberts, the director, Kelly Asbury, and the producer Baker Bloodworth and the editors Melissa Horwitz and Catherine Apple and even Pam Coats, the studio rep – all of whom helped shape things on the fly in the Starz boardrooms and on the corkboards.
But, after gearing up reels in London for a while, this was the primary storyboard crew on ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’, circa 2009 in Toronto – almost a full year ago! Time flies. And so did everyone else, off to London or LA or another studio in Toronto. *sniff* I hear things are steaming along for a release in 2011, so that’s something I can look forward to in the meantime. Aw, shucks. I got the best job in the world, meeting humans like these. I think there were about a half a dozen of us covering the rent for the pub down the street. We were there a LOT…GTs. Good Times.
Hey check out an IMDB review from someone who went to see a preview in LA! YAY! Normal people (well, people who bother to post reviews on IMDB, anyway) seem to really enjoy it! (Click on it to read it.)
We all know that people whom work in animation will hate it, cause that’s how we roll, yo. We’re a perfectionist crowd. As if it weren’t obvious – EVERY SINGLE FRAME is fussed over. Normal people just don’t work in that kind of a business, and that’s a fact – me included!
I once met a girl (a civilian, worked at a coffee shop) whom had a gnome tattoo on her hip, so you know she’s gonna see the movie. Yes, my wife’s used to me getting into conversations where girls show me their tattoos. I’m not a smooth talker, just kinda nosey. Drop it.
People likes gnomeses, so deal with it, animation fans! Singin: *Go Gnomeo, Go Gnomeo, Go Go -*
