Fisher Price
(Service work for Nexus Studios)
This was done as part of a pitch for an advertisement for Fisher Price.
The general concept was that the characters would interact with large versions of the Fisher Price toys (coloured in elements).
Patrick Osborne, the director on this project, provided us with the initial rough thumbnails
which we used to try to deliver a board that was in line with his vision.

The Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe
(Service Work for Sun Creature / Cartoon Network)
Ivandoe was a wonderful experience to work on a faster paced style with lots of focus for comedy and personalities.
Every couple of weeks we would pitch our work to the director, producer, showrunner and supervisor and come up
with ways to improve the story and comedy of the episode.

Motorcycle Chase
(Prickly Pear Animation Project)
.Loosely based on a Clone Wars script I was given for an exercise at a StoryboardArt.com storyboard class, but evolve away from that through ideas-exploration.
This project involved a lot of exploration of ideas, software, work methods and drawing-styles. In the end the cleaned up panels was a bit too labored for it's purpose. But it was really fun to do an action sequence after a long break from them |

LPS Pitch Teaser
(Service work for Boulder Media)
While working at Boulder Media, Magnus was asked to create an animatic of a teaser for a potential feature.
Working off a short script, this animatic was produced within 2-3 days and was requested to be "animated" so production could move faster.

This Blessed Curse
(Prickly Pear Animation and Pixel Giants IP)
Part of a 15-minute short film for adult audiences in development with Pixel Giants.
These boards where produced during early development for funding purposes. For this reason they have fewer panels with a bit more rendering.

The Ghastly Ghoul
(Service Work for Dream Logic)
This was an exciting opportunity to work on a Halloween TV-Special with the talented people at Dream Logic.
Beatrix is a young girl who tries to mask her fear of the macabre.
These are the thumbnails for the opening in which we show her Halloween-loving parents decorating the house, when Beatrix comes home.
The brief was to make decorating for Halloween seem a bit violent and murderous by using
somewhat obscure compositions and hiding the identity of the parents until Beatrix shows up.
This was a really fun sequence to work on and explore ideas on.

The Ghastly Ghoul
(Service Work for Dream Logic)
This is a later sequence when a secret portal opens to the Monster World opens up for Halloween
and Gary, a cute monster, disguises himself because he doesn't think he's scary enough.
After thumbnailing out the initial sequence we used Blender to stage the camera before bringing it back to Storyboard Pro to draw out the action.
3D models provided by client, we added lighting, portal and fog.

Otis
(Service work for Brown Bag Films)
These were done for a pre-school show on Apple TV.
One of the fun challenges on this project was that we were asked to limit the amount of shots for an 11-minute episode to around 60 shots.
So we tried to use long shots and move the camera organically from one character to the other.
This was especially true for the sequence below which was a more musical-bit opening to the Holliday special.
