Obligatory Post about AI
Well, AI is here, so what do we think? So much has been said already by so many others, and to be honest, I’m still wrapping my head around the implications already. To be specific, when I say AI, I’m referring to the broad concepts of text-to-image Generative AI stuff like Midjourney and Dall-E and…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Intel Series pt 6: “Kayak”
Our last one for the Intel series! What a journey. Starting out, we see a typical video conference. Our high profile businesswoman is kicking corporate butt. But then we reveal that she’s actually lakeside- using the power of Intel to convince her colleagues that she’s all business, but actually keeping a great work/life separation.…

Intel Series pt 5: “Replay”
Here’s another in the Intel series- quickly executed shoot boards for an Intel campaign highlighting tech innovations in daily life. This one’s silly- a dude gets hit in the face with a water balloon- a slow motion video captures the impact and aftermath- EPIC PRANK. All that’s left is to edit and post it…

Intel Series pt 4: “Hello”
Another quick one for the “Intel” series- a series of closeup portraits of tech users from all walks of life and points on the globe. No matter who you are, your tech is as personal as your… uh, personality. You unique thing, you. The client had cast all the actors for the spot already, so…

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!
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…
