VETO!! VETO!! VETO!!!

I have been cooking up a lot of new ideas lately. While some ideas work, some just didn't make the cut ... here are some ideas that get "VETO!!*!! LOL

These storyboards are for Vandal Heart Cinematic. I did these at Technicolor ... that's when their animation division was still in business or should I say, in business in US. Now they out source EVERYTHING to India. Everyone in the US lost our jobs *sigh* ... that's after they make us trained and establish the team oversea. Anyhow, the top is the final board for development, below is one based on a rough script. The story changed dramatically in the final version. Storyboards copyrighted by the studios.

As for these set of doodles and drawings. These are ideas, that sound good in my head, when I am dreaming about it ... but they just don't work as hot, when I put it on paper ... There is not enough story and character moment to capture imagination once. So they get toss out the door as well!!

BTW, I add lots of action boards and a new Podcast at my web-site, please come and check it out!

They are fantastic, but, well, requirements are high, above all when producers notice how much talent you have stored.
Don't worry, they must understand that inspiration regularly has an erratic behavior.

And why... They'll do a 2000 frame storyboard for a few dollars.

Sad but true.

theartofpuro said...

Sorry to hear these bad news about job.I understand very well your feeling,the same here.
Your works are always fantastic!

Khylov said...

Agreed - keep the jobs here. Besides, the people of India are smart - if they can master several languages and neurosurgery, they'll figure out animation production on their own just fine. "We'll do our best, and you'll do your best."

And great shape choices for the lady drawings. What have you been using for reference lately?

Ces said...

Oooh sooo beautiful. I am swooning. You make everything looks so easy.

Alina Chau said...

THank you everyone for your visit and cool comments.

Khylov,
THank you. I cook up most of the ideas from my head ... guess since I have a lot more free time these days, since I am jobless ... I have more time to think before I paint ... LOL
