Labatt Blue “Epic” Storyboards
I had a good run a couple of years ago getting hired to draw storyboards for an ad campaign for Labatt Blue, a Canadian Beer brand. They have a Bear character (just an actor in a bear suit) who is their Party Champion – a “Duff Man,” if you will- who shows up at opportune…

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…

Intel Series pt 3: “Drone”
Lost in the woods? Panicked for your life? Hunted by bears? No worry, Intel is there with a superintelligent rescue drone to track you by your heat signature and lead you back to civilization- capable of dodging trees in it’s path as well. This board continues the Intel Series I knocked out a while…

Intel Series pt 2: “Cliff”
Just a quick post today – I’ve got quite the backlog of great boards waiting to go up but I have been too busy to make posts! So I’m just going to kind of rush through the rest of the “Intel” series- after all, I did them all in one day (practically) and no…

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,…

Nutella – Spread the Happy
Here’s a fun quick one! I boarded out this spot for my great clients at Brand New School– they do great work and are always involved in fun, whimsical, creative projects. Nutella was no exception. The concept was clear and well developed- and they had great designers on the project, so I was able to…

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…

Birchbox: Better Way
We live in a pretty fascinating time- one needn’t even leave their home to shop for the rarified necessities! The selection available to us online is infinite, and it’s up to operators like Birchbox to curate the best of the best and bring it to our doorsteps. Meanwhile, the “old guard,” if you will, are…

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…
