TURBO: Tomato Race (2012) Part 4 of 4

Knowing it would be suicide to risk being sucked up by the whirling blades of the lawn mower, the snails retreat to the safe confines of the garden. Big Red is lost. The sooner they forget her the better.

However, where some snails look at things the way they are, and ask why... others dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
 






















































The second half of this sequence was done by another story artist. My section ends here.

Until next time...

  3. Great boards, I admire the easy way you create a cinematic feeling. Did you also did the 3D panels in the previous post? I don't think I've seen you use that technique before.

    (And thank you for switching off the dynamic views!)

    1. I lifted the 3-D panels from existing Pre-viz to save drawing time. Thx.

  4. I am in total awe of your boards! So expressive and cinematic. Can I ask, whats your quota for boards on a big budget feature like this?
    Thanks!!!

    1. They always want it yesterday. That being said...a rough pass is usually expected in a week, after which you get a lot of notes. Then you pitch it back and get more notes -- pitch -- notes -- pitch -- notes.(You get the idea) When you finally pitch and get no notes -- its done. This can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks.

      Every scene is different; some are long and complex, others more straight forward. Feature boarding is very fluid compared to TV boarding were the script is followed more closely.

    2. Wow thanks. I ask because I just finished doing boards on my first feature. But it's a European Production, so a much smaller budget. So we really had to whack out the seqences at light speed. Which was quite a challenge.

      Having up to 4 weeks on a seq would totally be a dream come true. Thanks for the insight!!!
