MegaMind Boards (2009)

Here's a sample from a sequence in which Titan turns the tables on Metro Man after noticing Metro Man's powers have been mysteriously weakened. He discovers why when he inadvertently steps on Megamind's disguise generator.










































I thumbnailed this sequence on post-its. I like to do that sometimes because you can rearrange them easily and play around your shot order.

    I have to say, your work is inspiring me and depressing me at the same time. A very strange dichotomy. Thanks for posting.

    Aaron, it's a common problem with this one. Just have to look at the glass as half full, I guess.

    I'd never considered the post-it idea. So simple. So great!

    The bouncing off the street shots are some of the most beautiful action gestures I've seen in a long time.

    These boards were done on a Wacom Cintique using Adobe Photoshop.

    Thanks Toby - the pencil shading was what threw me a bit. Is that a add-on brush? I'm a live action storyboard artist and it's great to get a chance to try and adapt techniques from animators.

    Awesome work! Megamind has become one of my favorite films of all time. Not only that but you also designed Darkwing Duck. Really really coincidental and amazing.

    Just a question, I noticed in the film; Megamind uses post-it notes on his projects. You mentioned you do sometimes with story-boarding. Was that idea born from your habit or no..?

    This is the Ultimate Skill level that I hope to achieve someday. I wish I could just drain your knowledge with my Meg mind.
