Button Of Doom (2010) MegaMind DVD

Here's a sample from a bonus short that was released with the MegaMind DVD, which hit the store shelves recently.

Nothing flashy here, just a little character moment between MM & Minion.

    The expressions are amazing. It'd be so cool to see a video of you making these boards.

    Great beats...

    I was wondering Toby; when you are boarding these, do you create your line-work and layers first (back, mid, and foreground) first, then add the tone and pencil shadowing after all the sequence is completed. Or do you incorporate all that per frame as you go?

    thanks for the posts as always.

    Contact &amp asks...
    "...do you create your line-work and layers first...then add the tone and pencil shadowing after all the sequence is completed. Or do you incorporate all that per frame as you go?"

    Funny you should ask...I was recently asked by a director to work rougher and skip toning altogether, until he could be sure the scene was working. He didn't want me to waste time and effort on panels he might want to change.

    That being said, I think it's better to get the scene roughed out and get notes before you start tying down and toning.

    Your boards are frickin amazing, Toby! These drawings inspire me to wedge my nose firmly against the proverbial grindstone, 'cause clearly, I have much still to learn!

    That little bromance punch was my fav part of the short. (well, that and Minion wiping away his tears at the end.)

    Great stuff, thanks for posting!
