Boards & animatics

Story Development

Story starts here: rough boards, timed animatics, and the painted world of GoomVille.

How the stories grew

  1. Storyboards

    I drew hundreds of boards for our senior film, following a middle-aged office worker into a magical-girl world where he has to face his own inner demons.

  2. A Second Animatic

    This personal animatic follows a girl uncovering the buried history of her dying city and looking for a way to save it.

  3. GoomVille — Explored

    GoomVille's textures began on paper. I unwrapped each object, traced its pattern, painted it in oils, then brought the texture and normal maps back into the scene. That process gave this frog town and its mushroom houses their handmade surface.
