It has been about 2 years since I was invited by the fabulous John Stevenson to work on development boards for a short film that was to be used to pitch for a feature.
These are examples of rough gag boards we did before we had a script or character designs.
Our marching orders were " the animals talk,but other than that they behave like "real" animals and use 3d cameras as much as Gordon P.

I conceived, directed, storyboarded, character designed (about half of the characters), and with a lucky break, did the voice over narration. Finished in spring '07, great clients, great agency (Anomaly), a reasonable schedule, and a production crew of geniuses at wildbrain.Here's a new bit of press.

This was an in house 17 min. CG short directed by the mighty Phil Robinson in 2001. It was quite an ambitious endeavor for plucky little wild brain and a terrific experience for me.

This was a TV commercial we did for Mexican clients (who were the best clients EVER). They just wanted to cram in as many gags as 30 seconds would allow. I also got to work with the great Dave Feiss who animated almost the entire spot (one scene by the also great Dave Vandervoort) and designed the ninjas and the hero's body.
