I always find it super weird when I post the same thing between my social media accounts, like do I just copy paste the description between my profiles? Does that make me sound like a bot? Do I awkwardly come up with some clever quip? If I tag the same people does it start to feel like spam??? — maybe I’m over thinking it….so just pretend this is some cool one liner: fhruiegvbnhrilbtvlsavbruielguitvre;ghntr - nice

Anyway thanks to @thelineanimation for the opportunity to lead the boards on the Marvel SNAP trailer - and to the amazing artists who brought this to life: @awancorp @sleepy_kc @jonlamart

More #transformersearthspark “storyboards” - I was really getting into 3D at the time so I used this sequences to really explore ToonBoom’s Storyboard Pro’s capabilities.Bee and the Ghost vehicles were provided by the production and the rest was found on 3D warehouse (Sketchup). This is totally random but my reference for this bit was from a Pennzoil commercial 😂 #transformers #animation

A short and sweet clip from the @azuki trailer I worked on with @thelineanimation - it’s always a blast to work on these project as I really get to have fun with a bit of action, knowing it will be brought to life by some of the best artists around :) #azukiart #azukielementals #storyboard #anime #animation

There’s no audio and i forgot what they said, but these are some older boards from transformers i had posted on my Twitter (X?) a while ago.I have such a huge backlog so it’ll be a while before i get to where the show is at currently. 😅 #transformers #transformersearthspark #storyboards #anime

Some storyboard work I did for the Atom Eve special of #invincible - its out now ahead of season 2 on prime!

Look ma’I’m Michael Bay 😎 🎥 #transformers #transformersearthspark #storyboard

Krang Invasion supercut.Just a collection of some cool shots we came up with.

It was so exciting to be able to explore some really cool set pieces as the invasion began, especially with the knowledge that it would be comped, colored and animated, the challenge was definitely worth it!

I know it’s just action, but a lot of my stuff is from the final act and I don’t wanna get too spoilery just yet…hint hint go watch the movie ;)
