  • Kingsford Charcoal “Mother’s Day”

    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”

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…
