I just happened to pick up a sketch marker back in November of last year, and simply fell in love with the brush tip. I ended up using them to storyboard 140 pages of the graphic novel. As much as I love them, I can't totally part with my Prismacolors just yet. We've been through too much together. I was raised on Prismas- They carried me through my college years...<br />

Silly me.<br />
<br />
Motion capture has helped move the animatic process along 20 times faster than if I had to animate each shot by hand. It also allows for multiple iterations, variations, and exploration. <br />

The lack of updates is more due to the fact that I often debate what would be "spoilerish". I admit I've not posted as consistently as I would like, and I know consistency is the key if this project has any chance of being successful at all (and right now, my definition of success is completion :)<br />
<br />
So from here on out- regular monthly updates- spoilerish or not!<br />

I started the process of compiling all of my notes and ideas in one cohesive document in the form of storyboards in December 2013. At the end of March I had finished storyboarding roughly 70 percent (140 pages) of my story. I deliberately stopped there to leave room for growth and change to the climax as I go back and create the final imagery.<br />
<br />
In addition to the 140 pages of sequential art, I have finished the first third of the opening sequence animatic. What's even more exciting is that I will send this animatic to a composer who I've been in talks with and who I think will do an incredible job creating the music for the short (assuming he says yes). I have to be mum on the details until everything is wrapped and complete. I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch, but I am really excited about that.<br />
<br />
Well, here are a few pages of the storyboards. I've tried to select a few that wouldn't "spoil" parts of the story- assuming things stay close to what I've plotted out here.<br />

<br />
I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some of the most creative and talented individuals in the world at Industrial Light and Magic. After spending 3.5 years supervising the Digital Matte Panting group in Singapore, I returned to the San Francisco office.<br />
<br />
My first project right off the plane was Pacific Rim, under the show supervision of John Knoll and super talented DM supe Johan Thorngren. I have to say- this was the most fun I've had on a project in a long time.<br />
<br />
Most of my work is in the Hong Kong sequence (and a bit of hangar work the first time we see Gypsy Danger). I was responsible for modeling, texturing, and lighting the Hong Kong Des Voeux street portion of the asset. Another artist that spent a great deal of time working on another section of Hong Kong was another great artist by the name of Tim Warnock.<br />
<br />
The outstanding work by the team was nominated for a VES award (though lost out to Gravty).<br />
<br />
In this video you will see breakdowns of the section I worked on (the area where Gypsy Danger is draging the oil tanker down the street) and the slug fest that takes place there.<br />
<br />
The final renders and detail changes (signs and other text) were done by another great artist Quentin Marmier (I had to jump onto the Lone Ranger before the show Pac Rim wrapped)<i><i></i> . </i><br />

P.S. Sorry for being M.I.A. for so long. The Experiment is very much alive and going through a very exciting phase. Stay tuned.<br />

For me, drawing has always come in waves. I have weeks of enormous productivity followed by months of drought. The last drought lasted 6 years, and each day the drought lasted, more of my confidence would be chipped away.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to let that happen again, I have too much work to get done.<br />

There is a LOT of rust here and a lot that makes me cringe, but it was good to get back on the saddle. Hopefully things will get better as I start to remember more of my old rules and improve upon them.<br />
<br />
The "renderings" were done on 11x17 copy paper.<br />
<br />
More to come...<br />

Great progress has been made, the blueprint has solidified, and I'm ready for stage two to begin. The most important thing that has happened in regards to this project over the past year is the return of my confidence as it relates to my marker rendering.<br />
<br />
I have been creating thumbnail sketches consistently for the last 12 years, but it has been 6 years since I've created a more refined marker sketch, or committed more than 10 minutes to a sketch. For myself as an artist, the fear of loosing your artistic talent is very real. I couldn't tell you how many times I've sat down to render a vehicle or a robot and stopped 10 minutes into it because I wanted every line to be perfect. Each time I walked away from an incomplete sketch my confidence took a hit. <br />
<br />
During a week off from my day job, I set a goal for myself to complete a piece, regardless of the result. I needed a moral victory, I needed a breakthrough. I started by focusing on getting one small area of a sketch right, and if that went well or not, I would keep going. As I worked my way through the sketch, piece by piece, I found myself remembering, rediscovering old tricks. Even though I wasn't completely happy, I could see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel, and that with a bit more practice over time, large gains could be made.<br />

I may be a bit ahead of myself, but having this on my table as I work provides a good bit of motivation to keep moving forward. Hopefully this is the first of many.<br />

Create one good piece and I'm on a high. Create a horrible piece and I'm depressed for days (maybe depressed is too strong a word).<br />
<br />
Having said that, every decision I make is based on trying to create something new, while being familiar. At times I am more successful than others and the perfectionist in me pushes me to refine and refine, but the calendar says it's time to move on.<br />
<br />
I'm sure all of us wish we had more time, or wish we could devote 100 percent of our time to developing our personal projects to their full potential. In reality we know that is an impossibility since the days of our youth and the luxury of irresponsibility afforded to youth are long gone. I think the secret lies in the ability to manage personal time with family, time with the 9-5, and time with the personal project.<br />
<br />
The tortoise and the hare...<br />

Mr. Harryhausen<br />
This week, those of us in the vfx field lost a great pioneer, Mr. Ray Harryhausen. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to meet him at one of his many visits to ILM. He gave a talk and was kind enough to sign books for everyone in attendance. One of the many surreal moments of my life- when you don't dare dream because you know the dream is too far out of reach. <br />
<br />

<br />
There are a few elements of the design that I want to change.<br />
<br />
<br />
And how about that Man of Steel trailer 3????<br />
<br />
There are a few movies that shaped my life. As a kid, before VCR's were in every home, there was only one way to see a movie more than once. That was to go to a theater, and once the theatrical run was done, you would have to wait for either the next theatrical re-release, or wait 4 years for the film to show up on t.v. <br />
<br />
The Empire Strikes Back is a film I remember standing in line for countless hours. It felt as if my father had taken me to see that movie every weekend the summer it was released. Next to Empire Strikes Back for me is Superman 2 (followed closely by Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan, and Raiders of the Lost Ark).<br />
<br />
This summer may just be one for the books with Elysium, Pacific Rim, Man of Steel, and Star Trek Into Darkness.
