I did this with Nathan Massengil, inker extraordinaire. But on this project he was the art director and animator.. This would have eventually turned into an exciting music video but the project was cut short at some point..
The BG colors we're done by Dominike Stanton, soon to come out with a Marvel book with his credits on it.. He did an amazing job, and the colors he did for the cars were superb.
If you saw in an earlier post, I did the storyboards for My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen, an MTV Films production. It's debuted on October 23 on MTV, and it was a blast to see some of my work come alive on the big screen. ( I got to see the premiere on the big screen even though the movie was shown on the MTV channel)
So if you didn't see the movie, this scene begins the best part of the movie.. When the bad guy reveals himself and really starts some hackin' and slashin'. This was shot on a pretty small set, so I storyboarded this scene realizing they would have to retread of many of the same spots.
You'll see that the storyboards deviate from the scene in some places. The director left out some elements in the script( which I followed pretty closely in the storyboards) once shooting started.. I think this was the most difficult scene to plan out.
I was on the set when this was filmed, and it was great experience. Especially seeing my storyboards displayed next to the directors chair..
Okay here are the storyboards followed by the actual scene.. BTW.. The director asked for simpler storyboards with no spotted blacks, because they were easier to see when shooting in darker settings.
I got the opportunity to do the storyboards for this film. I and two other guys from Studio Revovler, John Christopher( character designs and conceptual illustration) and Casey Edwards(graphic design and conceptual illustration), works pretty closely with the director Jacob Gentry( of The Signal fame), and producer Alex Motlaugh of POP films.
It was pretty exciting giving input into the progression of the action scenes, which there were many. John did an amazing job creating the main slasher guy( of course this is a horror film).
I'll post some of the storyboards after the movie previews on MTV on the 24th of October.
BTW-The "Evaluation Copy" text in the second clip is from me using a demo program to convert this clip into a Quicktime file. It's not some super secret reel that I'm sharing. In fact you can find this all of the net if ya' want.
Just another Microsoft video. Art Courtest of Studio Revolver, animated by Lustre Communications. I mainly worked on the storyboards and some of the background illustrations.
Here are a few frame from some recent advertising work.. But these board were for only use for a presentation that in the end was animated using flash( this part was not done be me.)
I haven't done storyboards for quite a while, and previously markers were my medium of choice.. It didn't seem right to do these with markers, so I figured out a way to emulate my marker technique on computer.. It worked fairly well for me, but it definitely wasn't as fast.
But I did get more efficient towards the end.. And I think this will be the way I'll do them from now on.
Another spot that Studio Revolver created with Lustre Communications for a Microsoft project.. I'f youl'd like the nitty gritty details about this project, looks two posts below..
A few years back, the studio( Studio Revolver, which I've been a part of for 5 years now) got a project working on a Microsoft get genuine promotion.. Basically, these comic animations warn businesses that their dogs will die and wives will leave if they don't make sure they paying big bucks to have non-bootleg Windows operating systems.
We did a total of 5. My part of the process was mainly storyboarding and digital backgrounds.. John Christopher and I were the conceptual team, and when scripts came in, we would brainstorm now the sequence should look and flow visually. We would send the storyboards to the production studio( that did all of the animation and sound) and they would get edits, we'd make changes, repeat.
So finally, we would have a final, approved storyboard sequence, and from there Georges Jeanty, of Buffy fame, would pencil the final art, and Dexter Vines, of Civil War fame, would ink the suckas. And finishing up the duties was Tom Feister.
All of the final animation was done by the amazing guys at Lustre Communications. Check out their work, it's super-tastic.
I would do any detailed backgrounds in illustrator to we could keep them hi res. In fact I'm going to post a few of the background that I did..
I don't want to dump all the animations at once, so I'll post a couple here and there over the next weeks.
The first one I'm posting is the last one that we did..
