  • Rough Sketch vs. Final

    Rough Sketch vs. Final

    A quick one today! I just noticed that this updated version of wordpress has this fun option of interactive image sliders- so that you can compare A/B images and appreciate the differences and similarities! I have below an excerpt from a project a few years back- again, depicting a family enjoying nearly being “there” with…

  • Sophos – Cyber Security

    Sophos – Cyber Security

    Boy, those viruses, huh? They’re everywhere, trying to wreck our lives. Luckily Sophos is there to scan and sweep them away. From our computers, at least. This was a fun, quick job that needed a very specific tone in order to convey the sense of dystopian angst- the directors sent references that were very film…

  • Lineage:  Red Knights!  Storyboards

    Lineage: Red Knights! Storyboards

    A couple years ago, I had a great time working on a series of spots for a very popular (in Korea) game called Lineage.  The anthem spot was about a minute long and had lots of action and fun characters, and it’s the subject of this post. The story goes- we find our hero protagonist…

  • Talk, Read, Sing! First Five California – Storyboards

    Talk, Read, Sing! First Five California – Storyboards

    Here’s a very fun project I did a while back, that I’m excited to share- storyboards for the First 5 California “Brainy Birds” commercial, which was part of their Talk, Read, Sing! campaign.  Basically: talk, read, and sing to your kids, and watch their little brains grow!  What a fun message.  And I can attest…

  • AT&T “Market Mishap” Storyboards!

    AT&T “Market Mishap” Storyboards!

    A while back, I got called in to my good clients at DirecTV (now AT&T) to work on a spot for their Adworks campaign- a commercial about commercials! How funny!  But really, it makes sense to make sure your advertising dollars aren’t going to waste, right?  That’s why you hire ‘Ol Maxy, right? and then…

  • Love, Depicted

    Love, Depicted

    I’ll leave out the specifics on what product/company these frames were advertising for; suffice to say, it was a collection of short spots of families and loved ones reflecting on the nature of their relationships (with some product placement tastefully featured in the periphery).  Rather, Let’s consider these boards an example of how I really…

  • “War Planet” Storyboards

    “War Planet” Storyboards

    Hi!  So here’s a fun one, if, I guess, you think war and conquest is fun… just kidding, of course you do!  What could be more fun then kicking your friends’ butts in online multiplayer combat via iOS or Android device? NOTHING #LOL But seriously, I LOVE DRAWING WAR, something about it just flows out…

  • BATES MOTEL | Promo Pitch Boards

    BATES MOTEL | Promo Pitch Boards

    So here’s a riddle:  When are you HAPPY that your favorite binge-able show finally is finally axed?  WHEN IT MEANS YOU CAN FINALLY POST your storyboards for the promos!!!  I’ve been dying to show these off for a while now.  Of course, these were just pitches for promos, and as far as I can tell,…

  • Xbox “Scorpio” Debut Trailer

    Xbox “Scorpio” Debut Trailer

    Earlier this year I had a blast working with the good people at BLIND on their amazing project:  The Xbox “Scorpio” debut trailer.  This officially introduced the world to the Xbox One X, and it’s always an honor to be included on such high-profile assignments.  I’ve generously been given permission to show some of the…

  • Aldi “Christmas Carrot” Storyboards

    Aldi “Christmas Carrot” Storyboards

    In Los Angeles, Christmas starts in September.  If you work in commercial production, that is!  Indeed it takes a couple of months for projects to get greenlit and produced in time for airing during the holiday season.  So it was that last year I was working on a fun Christmas project for my clients at…

  • “Asphalt Xtreme” Storyboards

    “Asphalt Xtreme” Storyboards

    Woohoo!  Here’s another fun project from earlier this year that I’m very proud to show- fun video game racing action! The “Asphalt” Series is well known in gaming circles as a premium racing product and I was very excited to be involved with my clients at PSYOP for their pitch and production of this great…

  • Nutella “Spread the Happiness” Storyboards

    Nutella “Spread the Happiness” Storyboards

    Woohoo! In addition to the previous Nutella spot, I happened to do the boards for the most recent follow up- “Spread the Happiness!”  Once again produced by my great clients at Brand New School. They are playing this spot a LOT on TV right now- which is great, since it rocks!  It’s fun, it’s pop, it’s…
