  • Corona “New Can” Storyboards

    Corona “New Can” Storyboards

    This is one of my favorite recent projects- a great concept, flawless execution, and I got to have a lot of creative input. The concept is really simple- a Corona can is situated in a dreamlike beach scene, and transforms into a palm tree, and from that palm tree sprouts another palm tree and between…

  • Olay “Red Carpet”

    Olay “Red Carpet”

    Another fun awards-season spot.  Seems like I had a bunch this year.  This was a fun concept- highly stylized shots of woman’s night preparing to walk the red carpet- shot in reverse- so we reveal the secret to her glamorous beauty- Olay Regenerist face cream! This spot was highly developed by the director, a very…

  • Hypro “Generations”

    Hypro “Generations”

    We’re all just simple farmers, right?  Well, even if you don’t swing a hoe, you might enjoy these simple storyboards.  Simple drawings to tell a simple story of a simple farming family- passing on the tools of the trade to the next generation of farmers. Here, we use a juxtaposition of shots of dilapidated tractors…

  • Taco Bell commercial pitch- Rubik’s Cube

    Taco Bell commercial pitch- Rubik’s Cube

    Here’s some storyboards I did for a pitch for a recent Taco Bell spot. The premise is, you can use an app to order whatever kind of taco bell food item you want, encouraging you to try new items and new combinations.  It’s like having a Taco Bell Rubik’s cube! And here’s the final commercial.…

  • My New Cintiq Companion!

    My New Cintiq Companion!

      I’ve got a new addition to my work setup- my Cintiq Companion!  It’s a handsome little device- Wacom-made, so of course it’s driven primarily though a pressure-sensitive screen.  It’s touch sensitive as well, and with the Windows OS driving it, it’s similar to the Microsoft Surface tablet- but the form is different and the…

  • Ugg Boots – Storyboards

    Ugg Boots – Storyboards

    When you see a snowy holiday commercial nowadays, bear in mind that it’s probably produced during the Summer season in Los Angeles, where it never snows.  That’s certainly the case with these two spots I storyboarded. This commercial campaign was produced by Timber, a great company and I love working with these guys, primarily because…

  • Kindle “Voyage” Storyboards

    Kindle “Voyage” Storyboards

    Here’s a cool project- Amazon’s new paperwhite Kindle Reader, the Voyage, is so paper-realistic, you just can’t believe it’s not paper.  And thus, the commercial for this device is a kind of paper-craft 3d papery world with classic print text on the paper.  Paper. I did a lot of storyboards/concept frames for this spot- it…

  • Airborne “Everyday”

    Airborne “Everyday”

    Everybody needs to take Airborne Everyday vitamins everyday, everybody knows that.  Why, no, I’m not a doctor.  I just draw them in commercials. Medical advice aside, this was a pretty simple and fun spot to work on.  Brought a little bit of color to the project with the vitamin “snow” effect, which seemed to work…

  • “Bleach This” Storyboards

    “Bleach This” Storyboards

    Just a quick one this week.  These boards were done over at BNS (they keep me pretty busy!) as part of a competitive pitch… and they were awarded the job!  Always nice to hear.  And since the boards were very tight and concise, no further revisions were needed, and the went straight into production.  BNS…

  • Reddi-Wip “Supermarket” Storyboards

    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…

  • AT&T Family Plan Storyboards

    Here’s a quick one- a storyboard for a competitive pitch for an AT&T spot.  The idea is, everyone in the family has their own phone, and we see them coming together into a kind of “collage” that shows their connectedness- with a silly theme.  We didn’t get the job, but the boards are cool.  Enjoy!…

  • VALSPAR Pitch

    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…
