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…

Rough Sketch vs. Final
A quick one today! I just noticed that this updated version of wordpress has this fun option of interactive image sliders- so that you can compare A/B images and appreciate the differences and similarities! I have below an excerpt from a project a few years back- again, depicting a family enjoying nearly being “there” with…

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…

Lineage: Red Knights! Storyboards
A couple years ago, I had a great time working on a series of spots for a very popular (in Korea) game called Lineage. The anthem spot was about a minute long and had lots of action and fun characters, and it’s the subject of this post. The story goes- we find our hero protagonist…

Talk, Read, Sing! First Five California – Storyboards
Here’s a very fun project I did a while back, that I’m excited to share- storyboards for the First 5 California “Brainy Birds” commercial, which was part of their Talk, Read, Sing! campaign. Basically: talk, read, and sing to your kids, and watch their little brains grow! What a fun message. And I can attest…

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…

Aldi “Christmas Carrot” Storyboards
In Los Angeles, Christmas starts in September. If you work in commercial production, that is! Indeed it takes a couple of months for projects to get greenlit and produced in time for airing during the holiday season. So it was that last year I was working on a fun Christmas project for my clients at…

“Asphalt Xtreme” Storyboards
Woohoo! Here’s another fun project from earlier this year that I’m very proud to show- fun video game racing action! The “Asphalt” Series is well known in gaming circles as a premium racing product and I was very excited to be involved with my clients at PSYOP for their pitch and production of this great…

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…

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…
