Flavio!


Three years ago I created a seven minute animated film called “Flavio” for Nickelodeon/Frederator Films, about an over-emotional goat who works as a dishwasher in a pizzeria and longs to be a famous inventor like his hero Leonardo DaVinci.

I have not been able to post it on my site because it had to air on telivision first to be eligible for Emmys and Annies and all that stuff that only animators care about. Anyway, I can finally show it. Please check it out and as always I love to here your thoughts!
You can see a production blog about the making of Flavio at Frederator.com and learn more about Flavio here.

When Nature Calls storyboard


Mr Flint explaining to Woodrow how to raise the sun.

Well, I’ve managed to finish my pitch storyboard for CN’s shorts program and I’m pretty happy with the result. Of course I haven’t shown it to many people for the simple reason that I have no one to show except my family.  So, because I need to practice pitching and because I value their opinion, I pitched to my brother, wife and kids.  My wife said she really liked the story and that it was funny, which is good and I believe her because she does not pull punches. My kids also liked it and said they thought it was funny. I think they did not get all the jokes but that’s cool as I have heard that CN is trying to skew older with these shorts. My best review however came from my brother who said he loved it. Even better, he said actually liked it better than Flavio which I take as a compliment simply because I really liked how Flavio came out. He laughed at all the right places and thought the whole thing was good.

Here’s a few more panels from the film…

Autodesk article!

As I’ve said before I was on the beta team for SBP earlier this year and my frequent posting and keyboard diarrhea on the forums there got the attention of the guys over at Autodesk I guess.
Anyway, they asked me to write an article on Digital Storyboarding and I have to say I had so much fun doing it, I want to do more! Article writing is fun! I only wish I had learned that writing could be fun back in school. I might have turned out better!

Anyway, you can read the article here.
