Hotwire!
So, I’ve had to hold this one back for a while, but now I’m able to talk a little bit about the artwork I’ve been doing for the past few years on this Hotwire campaign. I’m not going to go into too much detail- other than to say this a rare scenario where I worked…

I have for you, for FREE DOWNLOAD (it’s on the internet, after all), my personal, made from scratch,…

Toon Boom Storyboard Pro 4 is here! Yay?
I was working onsite yesterday and got an email notification from Toon Boom announcing their new update to the successful and highly-lauded application, Storyboard Pro, now in version 4. The email touts the many new features, the most significant of which are the new “bitmap drawing” tools. You might be thinking “Don’t most drawing programs…

DSW & The Fox House
Last year, on Halloween, I boarded the DSW commercial that is airing right now (early March, 2013): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwY5c7qOnKE&list=UUy9YrUdKJxzx6FPQrD_PytA&index=3 This commercial was a lot of fun to work on, and also very different, because I was up close and personal with the production, and in this case, it was a real treat. I received the scripts…

Old Navy Funnovations Inc!
[singlepic id=594 w=320 h=240 float=] Well well well, Its been almost a year since I worked on these Old Navy spots and so it’s probably ok to talk about them now. For those of you who don’t watch TV (the only excuse you might have for not seeing these ubiquitous commercials), these Old Navy…

Caveman!
So here’s a commercial I worked on back in April. I usually like to wait a while before I consider it “safe” to discuss a project on this blog, because, well, it’s not a good thing to release production artwork before the commercial airs! And even though I didn’t see this one air, I know…

Hockey meets Honda
Earlier this year I worked on a Honda commercial that featured hockey stars Nicklas Lidstrom and Corey Perry. In the spot, the athletes leave the sports arena and head to their Honda Pilot. Once inside, they are shocked to find hundreds of hats falling (as happens when an athlete scores a hat trick; 3 goals)…

Not Just Commercials…. “Race at Target Field”
Many of my motion-graphics clients produce shorts and promotional materials as well as broadcast commercials. A few months ago I storyboarded a sequence to pitch a kind of animated short that screens at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins. Part of a larger campaign featuring a handful of…

Hotwheels “Immersion” Pitch
So, these are some great storyboards I did for a Hotwheels bid, the concept being that at first, we don’t know that this is representative of a toy car fantasy, rather it appears to be a real car in the most extreme adventure scenarios, and at the end it is revealed to be the…

British Red Cross – PSA
Here’s some storyboards for a PSA for the British Red Cross, about … not drinking? Drinking but not to excess? Don’t leave your friends when they’re blackout drunk? Or when your friends are blackout drunk, turn them on their side before you abandon them so that they don’t choke on their own vomit…. that’s it,…

My Brand New Storyboarding Blog…
Fascinating, to see how far website design has come in the last few years, since last setting up my previous website, MaxForward.com. The power of today’s cutting edge blogging programs have completely supplanted my need to finagle and frankenstein together my own haphazard concoctions. Big thanks to DreamHost, for making it easy to register and…
