Between the productions of "THE BEE MOVIE" and "KUNG FU
PANDA" I did some storyboard work for the
Aardman/Dremworks feature "FLUSHED AWAY". At this
sequence Rita the female rat takes Roddy to her house so she
can get a map from her father. This is a sample or my work
using the Cintiq WACOM tablet.

"OVER THE HEDGE" is DREAMWORKS version of the popular
cartoon. I was one of the artist who created some of the
elaborate presentation boards the studio used to promote the
movie.
During the late 90's DREAMWORKS developed a kangaroo
movie titled "OUTLAWS". It was the story of three outlawed
kangaroos who's life changed when they found an orphan baby
kangaroo. Sounds familiar? Though the movie never went to
production I boarded several sequences. This particular
sequence -also written by me -is a good example of my rough
fast boards.
More "OUTLAWS". There where a few sequences for which I
had the time to create more rendered boards for the need of
doing presentations to executives and voice actors.
Unfortunately I only have a few scattered samples of this kind of
work but it employs similar techniques with the work done at
Joseph.
"Joseph King of Dreams" was my first project at DREAMWORKS
ANIMATION. I was responsible for about 85 % of all the final
boards of this production plus I served as an animation
consultant. In this sequence Joseph is brought to the Pharao in
order to interpret his strange dreams.
Here is a sample of my work for the TV format. This is from a
show called: "Kid's Ten Commandments" where I boarded the
pilot.
From all the animated movies I have worked during the years
DREAMWORKS'S "SPIRIT STALLION OF THE CIMMARON" is
my most beloved one. If you like to see some of my Spirit work in
animatic form check out the specials at the end of the DVD.
About half a year after the release of "SPIRIT STALLION OF
THE CIMMARON" DREAMWORKS wanted to follow with a Spirit
Christmas special. I was in Greece when I was asked to come
back to the USA to board the film. Though I managed to board
the whole show in 2 months the movie was never produced.
The studio by then had sifted to 3D animation and the cost to
produce a 2D show in house was overwhelming.
I had a great time working with Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Hickner
at the "BEE MOVIE" . Initially we started the production working
our storyboards on paper but eventually by the end of the
production we had made the switch to the digital world of the
CINTIQ Wacom tablet. This sequence is done on paper and as
many other sequences it was cut out of the movie together with
the two goofy characters you see here.
Berry Benson the Jerry Seinfeld character at the "BEE MOVIE"
has a best friend named Adam. Initially Adam was a short
chubby character but later on his design did change. At this
sequence Berry and Adam sneak out of the hive to visit a not so
"nice" bar. At the bar entrance they meet Freddy the bouncer.
This sequence was also cut from the final movie.
Between the productions of "BEE MOVIE" and "Monsters VS
Aliens" I did storyboards for "Kung Fu Panda". This is part of
an sequence where the furious five attack Tai Lung .
Another section of a storyboard from "Kung Fu Panda". This is
part of a sequence where the monkey attacks a crock.
At some point we created a number of very short stories at
DREAMWORKS featuring the secondary characters from the
feature films. This is a short story I came up staring the
character of Pinocchio. He is promised to become a real boy if
he can find a real job.
This is one of the first sequences I boarded for DREMWORKS
"Monsters vs Aliens" The name of the sequence is: "Make out
point" and it is the sequence were the big robot send by Galaxar
falls on Earth.
There were a number of sequences that we cut of the final
version of DREMWORKS "Monsters vs Aliens". At this one the
monsters were separated from Susan after the Golden Gate
Bridge fight and went to a country club to terrorise the upscale
members of the club.
This is a selection of drawings from a number of different
sequences for DREMWORKS "Monsters vs Aliens" I boarded..
