Board to Film Comparison



Here is the storyboard to film comparison. I was impressed with how closely the director stuck to the boards I had worked on. In animation, the storyboards are translated very literally because you have complete control over the elements. But in live action, the storyboards are loose guidelines to get and overall feel of how a project will look. These shots match really closely to the boards that I had drawn out.

I enjoyed working on this project, the director was able to communicate exactly what his vision was and I was able to put that to paper in one draft. That rarely, if ever, happens. There is a saying that it shouldn't be called storyboarding, it should be called story re-boarding because you work and rework and rework things to death. This was one of those times when the channels of communication were open and uninterrupted.

It's cool to see that! You're right, they really stuck to your storyboards. My kids love the film. Peanut loves the candles and says, "hot!" (One of the few words he actually says.)

So interesting to see the comparison! By the way, I got a fund-raising letter from BYU yesterday and the letterhead was the torso of a man holding that thick lighted candle! It warmed my heart that you had something to do with that and I sent them some money! How are the other recipients of that letter to see the video? Is it out somewhere?

Boss Baby (2017) The Fight in the Airport

Boss Baby and Tim have escaped from the Killer Manny.  They have made it all the way to the airport by bike and Tim has just saved Boss Baby from the dangerous travelling crowd.  They've ALMOST caught up to Tim's parents!  But then THIS happens:

Creating the Anhedonia Logo

This is the animated logo at the end of the new television show, Mr. Sunshine. Think "Sit, Ubu. Sit." or "Bad Robot!!" You can see it better quality at http://vimeo.com/20228001 A few months ago I got a call from my friend Matt Davis asking if I would maybe, possibly be somewhat interested in considering working on a logo like that for Matthew Perry. I jumped at the chance. The company is called Anhedonia Productions, and you're probably wondering what in the world "Anhedonia" means. It's the inability to experience pleasurable emotions from normally pleasurable life events. A pretty crappy situation, but comedy goldmine. I worked with Andy Erekson and Marcelo Vignali (and his daughter) to come up with a list of 50 ideas of what this logo could be within the theme that Perry had already set up. I boarded out 7 of those ideas and created 3 animated beta tests. Here are some of my favorites... For exploration: Face on Jumbotron Rodeo Christmas tre

Boss Baby (2017) Tim teaches BB about imagination - Deleted Scene

You've seen Boss Baby, of course.  This is the Sequence when Boss Baby and Tim are on the airplane headed to Las Vegas and they take the time to practice a little imagination play.  The idea was to explore what Boss Baby's version of imagination would be.  Initially, he's going to think of everything in terms of business, right?  A pirate ship would be made out of sky scrapers, naturally.  Ultimately it was cut for time, but it was a fun sequence to work on.
