BENGAY Storyboards
Here’s some storyboards I did a few years back- 2011 or thereabouts. Very humorous story- we see a young woman suffering from a sports injury apply a little BENGAY to the site of the pain- and we zoom in and provide a visual explanation of how the product works to cool and numb the affliction:…

Reddi-Wip “Supermarket” Storyboards
Another quick one this week. I did these boards earlier this year. This kind of spot is very familiar to everyone- the taste test. Which do you prefer? Reddi-wip, or the other whipped topping? As if there was any doubt. These were sketched out quickly, but I don’t think they suffer for it. Often times…

“Call of Duty: Ghosts” Part 1
On November 5, Activision released CoD: Ghosts, the hotly anticipated successor to the Call of Duty franchise. It’s set to make a bajillion dollars and influence untold impressionable young minds- and so I’m excited to share my small part in it. The summer months of 2013 were spent alongside my buddy Brian Yang, another Frameworks…

Defiants 4×4
Having worked on both, I never cease to marvel at how car commercials are strikingly similar to toy car commercials. They seem to need all the same kinds of shots, and both refer to each other, because many toy cars are sold on their “realism” and many cars are marketed to adults craving fun and…

Ultimate Fighter- NOS Pitch Boards
Just a quick one this week. Got a lot of stuff going on. So here we have some boards I did last year for a Ultimate Fighter/NOS tie-in. Everyone knows that the secret to success is to drink as many energy drinks as possible, and UFC fighters are no exception. And for that extra edge…

Kingsford Charcoal “Mother’s Day”
This week’s storyboard is from a Kingsford Charcoal commercial, aired around Mother’s Day in 2012. It’s a humorous yet touching interaction between father and son as they discuss the merits of going the extra mile for Mom… vs slappin’ some meat on the grill and eating like Real Men. Luckily, Mom’s down for steak too.…

Sport Chek “Determination”
Here’s a spot I worked on earlier this year- A Sport Chek commercial starring NHL player Sidney Crosby. The premise is very straightforward- many slow motion shots of Sidney training hard in the gym, with the speed ramping up and building in intensity, and abruptly ending with tagline and logo lockup. I like working on…

Qatar Foundation – Pitch
Behold, another set of pitch boards for a commercial that wasn’t awarded. You might be thinking, “Wow, you had a bit of a losing streak, huh?” Actually I pull these samples arbitrarily from past work as it “ripens” for posting, so there really was no streak per se, but I think it’s also a learning…

VALSPAR Pitch
Here’s a sequence I boarded for a Valspar paint commercial, which we pitched, but alas, did not get. What a shame, because I had a lot of good ideas and was able to clearly spell them out in my ‘animation’ here. I dare say most other storyboard animatics don’t get quite to the level that…

Beachy Breezy boards for Gillette
It’s late and I drank too much coffee- might as well post some storyboards! Right? So here we go: A few months back I had the pleasure of working on a Gillette spot for their 3 Venus Summer Goddess Embrace line of razors- I’m sure there’s a distinct shaving advantage for each one, but, being…

Sparkling Ice
So if you’re in LA, you’ve probably noticed these Sparkling Ice billboards going up everywhere- I know I see three of them when I commute to the west side. You might have also seen their TV spot as well! Well, I storyboarded it. First, take a look at the video, and then I’ll discuss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaUYJSjNTvg…
