The purple dragon?! Cinema Blog up-dated!!

My pals often ask me, "What exactly do you do at work?!" Well ... mostly I animate, but during pre-production, I often involve in concept and storyboard development. Below is the opening cinematic storyboard of Spyro: A New Begining (2006), which I worked on last year. This is drawn in Photoshop. I also up-date the Cinema blog with collection of my animations from Spyro. For blogging convenience, I take out the film script and put all the panels in one page in a thumbnail format. Hope you enjoy it, and have a wonderful weekends!

Nievas,

Thank you. Stay warm in France. Spyro: A New Begining is already out in the store. :) That's why I can release these production artworks. :) I think it comes in PS2, Ninetendo, and xBox. :P

Interesting storyboards! I want to do my boards all digital too!!

When you submit a portfolio would you include a leica reel or would you layout it out like this with many panels on one page and hold it for a few seconds so they can read it on the demo reel?

Hey Alina,

Wow, love the storyboards! Good action and really nice flow in your lines. I love your sketchbook drawings, but it's fun to see some of your paid work as well. You have such a wide range.

Take care and good luck in '07:)

Damn your drawing skills are so strong. Great pencil work.

THank you everyone.

Druie,
THank you for visiting. WHen you submit a storyboard portfolio, you should submit in formal storyboard format with script and camera instruction, and an animatic reel would be cool. The reason I post my storyboard in a thumbnail format is just for on-line blogging convenience, so I take out all the scripts. But this wouldn't be a good format for a portfolio submission.

THank you everyone for your kind words.

Mac McRae,
THank you. This is actually done in Photoshop. :)

Alina! Catching up on your work has been SO lovely. I love the travel sketches and these storyboards are -great-; reminds me of when I had to do those back in university on student films!
