Storyboard Buffet
While the focus of this website is to showcase my most recent work from the past dozen years, I thought it would be fun to share a few bite-sized samplings of older pencil/ink on paper story sketches from earlier projects. The drawings will undoubtedly look simple in comparison to modern digital boards created in Photoshop or Storyboard Pro, but that's their charm. There were no fancy tricks to hide behind. We drew quick and rough, committing to the etched or inked line, mistakes and all. Enjoy!









Warner Bros. Feature Animation
Seq. 11 - "Nose Dam"
ACTION
Frank (live action Bill Murray) gets the sniffles, but it's tidal wave size to white blood cell Osmosis Jones and antihistamine pill Drix as the mucus dam breaches inside his nasal cavity. Jones surfs the tsunami of snot, dodging tree-size nose hairs while trying to avoid being dripped out Frank's runny nose.

"Nose Dam" Script Page
As is often the case with animated feature scripts, big action sequences tend to be minimally written with only vague descriptions, relying on the story artist's imagination to fill in the blanks. With only a couple sentences of direction, I boarded the Nose Dam moment as a life threatening surf for survival.


DisneyToon Studios
Seq. 31 - "Race Against Time"
ACTION
My assignment was to come up with various modular shots of Cinderella frantically riding a horse through the outskirts of town trying to reach the castle before stepsister Anastasia, disguised as Cinderella, marries the Prince. These were then separated & edited throughout the finale sequence where needed.

"Race Against Time" Script Pages
With minimal description in the pages, I had to come up with a library of shots depicting Cinderella riding a horse briskly through various terrains. Compared to modern digital storyboards, these ink sketches look rough. But that was the charm of hand-drawing boards, committing to the line, mistakes and all.


DreamWorks Television Animation
Seq. 0900 (Episode 112: "Rehabilitation")
COMEDY
This one-season primetime show about Sigfreid & Roy's white lions in their Las Vegas revue was DreamWorks' first animated television series, airing on NBC. The timing of this series premiere was unfortunately right after Roy's mauling accident, but the show was a lot of fun to work on.

Lost and alone in the Everglades, a weary Leo stumbles upon the tribal encampment of the very same circus animals he helped set free earlier in the film. Their grateful leader, a miniature horse with a Napoleon Complex, repays Leo's good deed by organizing a convoy to escort him safely back to Fort Meyers.
