Storyboard

2011-10-17T11:26:00.004-04:00

I am sharing a storyboard proposition I did at work for a television show opening a while back. Here are the explanations along the boards an effort to make it comprehensive. This was a house renovation show.

Both guest are ready to enter the house. The Man

step forward to start the renovations

The host pops out of the tool box and with her wand

switches the man's role...

...he magically appears in a shopping isle. Confused!

But his partner comes in to solve his shopping

dilemmas.

but...

...the host pops out of the vase and with her wand

switches the woman's role...

she is assigned to the manual renovation...Scared!

The husband stands behind the window helpless.

The co-host "handyman" comes in to reassure the

owner.

Plugs the electric saw...

All goes wrong, the lady splits the screen in half...

and reveal the host and co-host then fade to the

show's Logo

Production Work - Part Three of Three - IGA Holidays

2011-03-22T20:34:00.000-04:00

Finally... Here's the third part. I've been distracted from everything lately... I even had to motivate myself little tonight. Anyway, I'm glad to share the great work of my friends too, whom I'm very happy to work with. This post focus on an ad we did for a Supermarket chain called IGA. This ad aired during this past holidays. That's the second year we've worked on that New Year's Day campaign.

Many thanks to SHED for these post!

The Music is an old Folk song and it's in french. The storyboard process took few days work. I animated 3 shots as well: the first one, the ones when he climbs and the romantic shot when they're getting closer.

Storyboards:

Production Work - Part Two of Three - Another story about the bears

2011-03-14T23:29:00.002-04:00

Half a year after we did the Olympics commercial, I've worked on a storyboard for an upcoming bear spot that was eventually canceled. I was about 2 or 3 days of work and real fun to tackle. I'm so thankful that Shed as agreed for me to share these panels... I was convinced they were to be forgoten.

Production Work - Part One of Three - Coke Olympics

2011-03-12T18:09:00.003-05:00

Shed has kindly agreed to let me share on my blog some production work I've done. Freckles' nice comments triggered this idea that I should shared storyboards here. So since I love everything about Storytelling in animation, I figured I could show you parts of what I have done at work. We really cherish those projects at work and we are really proud of them. Hoping you'll enjoy.

Part One

In 2010 we worked on this ad for the Olympics games. I was involved in this project as an animator and preproduction artist. I animated all of the second part of the spot from the shot where the bear rise the torch in the water reflection till the very end. PH the lead animator did all the stunning animation before.

So these are the last version of Story art we edited...

-end-

I also did a poster illustration back then. Here's the progression for this art.

I have been studying quick render of mood in Photoshop lately, mostly new brushes.
The first images is a "plein-air study" of views from my desk at the
office and the second one is a from a picture of my little boy we took at the
49ers stadium last year. It's nothing impressive but I sure need the practice... Cheers
