Ingenuity – Quick Simple Color
This is a quick job that needed 3 spots boarded, with COLOR, in half a day! Of course, I’m used to needing to draw quickly, but color usually really slows things down. Of course, being a great storyboard artist is all about adapting and turning weaknesses into strengths, and of course, being the total zen…

What I’m Packing Now
My New Mobile Studio: Wacom MobileStudio Pro and MacBook Pro This is a post about my new digital studio, but to put the excitement I have for this setup in context, I think it’s a great idea to backtrack a bit. A couple of years ago, I posted about my ‘new’ Cintiq companion – new, at…

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…

Pine Sol Storyboards – “Powerful Clean, Lemony Fresh”
Here’s a fun spot I worked on earlier this year for my great clients at Mirada. It’s a charming commercial fo r lemon-scent Pine Sol, and to provide a brief backstory: the agency had “tested” a wacky concept of small soldiers and ballerinas chanting “powerful clean” and “lemony fresh” as they jumped into a Pine…

“Date Night” Storyboards
Here’s a quick sweet little project I boarded a while back – one of those synergistic multi-product subtle mega-mercials masquerading as a network PSA – tips for a fun “date night!” Here, a couple starts out there morning routine as usual- but then in a moment of whimsy, it strikes them to spice things up…

Duracell – Pitch Storyboards
Here’s one I’ve had on ice a while now- an old pitch, that we didn’t get awarded, and thus I’ve not really been able to present, but enough time has passed that we can risk a look at my work, and hope nobody minds. It was a rare “throw your best efforts and time…

Intel Series pt 1: “Plunge” featuring the Peak fitness watch
Another great spot I storyboarded for my clients at Slim Pictures. These is an Intel commercial but focused on their integration with the latest offerings in computing wearables- called out in this case as the Peak fitness watch. In this spot we chase our Heroine through a densely wooded northern California forest- tracking, panning, pushing…

Nissan Rogue “Launch” Storyboards
How many storyboard frames do you need for a 30 second commercial? It’s an interesting question. Sometimes you just need a handful of “pitch boards”, to sell the idea along, so maybe 5-8 frames in that case. Sometimes you are drawing “shoot boards” which are critically important to be as clear and explanatory as possible,…

Apple Commercial – “Better Starts Here”
So! Another cool Apple commercial under my belt. I really like doing these editorial-style commercials (the juxtaposition of the shots lead the viewer to form deeper associations even with seemingly unrelated visuals) and my good clients at Slim Pictures know the secret to booking ol’ Maxi: advance notice! Most clients seem to be booking more…

Gillette Venus 2015
I consider myself fortunate to have the pleasure of regularly working with very talented directors who appreciate my passion for good storyboards. And so it is that I can look forward to, every year, working with director Katja Brauer on her latest Gillette Venus spot- you see, in Germany, they have the German version of…

Clorox to the Rescue
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of doing a BUNCH of shoot boards for my clients at 29 Black on their Clorox spots, among other things. Four spots in total, and they are pretty simple, so not much explanation needed, but they all go along with the theme of “Your house gets messy and…

Dude, Draw My Car
Here’s a fun commercial I did for my great clients at Bark Bark– A great opportunity for me to draw high energy classic car action! In this spot, we see two young men tooling around in a classic Camaro- living out their personal Fast and Furious fantasies- After lots of quick action cuts and inserts,…
