SWALLOWED STAR - ACTION SEQUENCE

Again some old stuff from the days at AXIS. 

This was a short action sequence but really fun to do. Something I had learn, was that not every board or sequence needs to be the best sequence ever. You need to be able to pull back, so that the important battles and scenes have impact. If EVERYTHING is awesome, then nothing stands out, and as a result NOTHING is awesome :P 

You can see I always put the most effort into the close up shots, the wide shots are pretty rough :P This is why it's so important to develop your drawing skills for storyboarding, the more you can put down with minimal lines, the better and faster you will be.

SWALLOWED STAR - DIALOGUE SEQUENCE

I never posted much from what I did when I worked for AXIS on this cool action show for Teens. This was the biggest learning curve in my career, where I really feel that effort trumped skill. That's all that we can do sometimes as artists, to be ready when an opportunity comes our way and then put 110% into it.

Swallowed Star Action Storyboard Sequence

So this was the first action sequence I had done for AXIS. The project link is here.

This was after working on a pre school show, which was my first job in storyboarding. 

It was a very challenging show to work on with my limited experience, but the coolest job I've done so far. I would love to get back onto an action show now that I am more comfortable in my role.
