Girl Bee Characters

These characters were designed to be the girlfriend of a certain bee cereal spokesman .

Camelia Characters

These characters were designed for some spots and package art that would advertise a French- baby gum -numbing ointment .

Chicago Transit Authority

This is a Chicago Transit Authority ad that I directed and storyboarded. It was designed by Carlos Aponte. I never understood the groundhog they made me put in the boards.

Yo Gabba Gabba - Story Time

This was a rare opportunity for those of us at Wildbrain to work on the fabulous Yo Gabba Gabba show. We made a Story Time sequence which they gave us a script and a track for. I directed, storyboarded, and character designed (except for the cat by Sarah Forrester) this spot. I also did these very simple background designs. It was a pleasure to work on something with gentle timing for once and it gave us an opportunity to try something new, a 3D head with a flash body. Mike Overbeck is the genius behind this combination of techniques.

My turnarounds .

These are some rough color styled layouts that ended up being the actual backgrounds.

Wrigleys

It was nice to work on a dialog driven commercial even if the dialog was repetitive. I directed, storyboarded and did the character design on this spot.

OATMEAL Pitch

This was a test for a pitch for an oatmeal commercial , conceived by a very funny agency . We turned this around in about 24 hours. I story boarded, picked the very familiar scratch track and scanned the oats.Mike Overbeck animated this in about 8 hours on Photoshop 3's animation plug-in that he had never used before . WARNING ; to all you delicate flowers out there, this piece has swearing in it.

The actual story concept was that soldier oats were at war with high cholesterol food , these are designs for deadly tempura shrimp disguised as innocent forest creatures.This pitch was rejected by the oatmeal clients. It was fun, no time to second guess .
