Are You Dreaming of a Career in Storyboarding but Can't Break Into the Industry?
Let's face it. The animation industry is brimming with talent. Every day, hundreds of artists try to land their dream job, but the reality? Most get the "thanks for applying" email.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED AFTER WORKING ON 30 FEATURE FILMS FROM THESE STUDIOS
It's not just solely talent; it's about skill, technique, and understanding the ESSENCE OF STORYTELLING. And that's where most courses fall short. They focus on the technical, neglecting the heart and soul of storyboarding –the story itself.
Unfortunately, I also get the sense there are some roadblocks for you here, including figuring out how to:
Get past looking amateur
Turn your love of animation into a career
Find a way into the industry
Dispell self doubt
Get past thinking no one will hire you
Make your art skills marketable to a studio
If so, just know I’ve been there and you’re not alone...
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE
You have to spend 4 years at an expensive art school to get hired
Most college animation programs don't even have teachers who have actually worked on a major film or TV production let alone know what it takes to get hired by a major studio.
All the graduates we hired at Blue Sky Studios
Took another 6 MONTHS of training before they were good enough to board on a production
In spite of 4 years at college they still hadn't been taught the skills necessary to keep up in a professional studiao environment.
WHICH IS WHY I CREATED THIS PROGRAM
To take you through the same rigorous training I gave to the story trainees, and get them ready to board on major feature films.
You'll receive instructions and assignments that will hone your storytelling & drawing ability and get you ready for the big time. Instead of just watching movies - you'll watch your name roll by in the credits and have the satisfaction of knowing you helped bring something amazing to the screen.

I cut my stoyboarding teeth at Warner Brothers working on Iron Giant. During that time I discovered I had a knack for doing gags. From there I went to Blue Sky Studios putting my gag skills to use on every movie the studio produced especially with Scrat in the Ice Age franchise. Since Blue Sky closed, I’ve worked for Sony, Paramount, Disney and Illumination. One of my favorite assignments was writing and boarding a bunch of 2D Minion shorts for Facebook. I have boarded on 30 feature animated films and written about 40 shorts. Besides actually storyboarding, teaching storyboarding is one of my favorite thing to do. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the craft with you!
