NEW STORYBOARD JOB…THOUGH, A BIG ONE

Let me see now.

In the last week and a half, I have been hired on to do some pre-pre-production work on a film called NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.

The director is a very cool guy named David Dobkin who did THE WEDDING CRASHERS. Everything has gone fine so far.

Once again, I can’t discuss the film as I WILL GET FIRED, but it looks to be fun.

David likes to start with thumbnails and work from there. He has a good sense of story and character arcs and is quite open to contributions. David made me feel relaxed as soon as we met, as did his assistant, Seth.

I had to go home to NYC, as my Uncle, a great man named Rueben Holder passed away. I really loved him. He married my mother’s first cousin, and we all just called him “Uncle”. The exact relation never mattered, which is just as I believe.

Family is who loves you and whom you love.

After coming back from the funeral, I am grinding away on the boards. I am very happy not to be using paper as when you work digitally, you can reuse shots and make some wider or tighter.

After approval, I can either draw on another layer or just add detail to the sketches. Tomorrow, I hope to get in a quick workout, take my son to school and start drawing. I have three scenes to do by this coming Monday.

Yes, I am having a lot of fun, I might add.
