An agency asked us to create some pitch boards for a commercial that was dark and shadowy and look like a 1940’s detective movie. Even the color was done in sepia tone to enhance the look. Boards by Alex Saviuk.
This is a series of color boards for a Home Depot commercial. We had Alex Saviuk rough out the boards and company owner Mark Simon provided the color.
Mark Simon was Head of Story on this Netflix/Jon Favreau stop-motion production. Alien Xmas is a Chiodo Bros (big fan of their Killer Klowns) creation. Mark had story artists in 4 cities, and oversaw the story department virtually (even before the shutdown). Mark worked closely with director Stephen Chiodo to get his vision to the screen.
Mark Simon produced the board and the animatic for this online video promoting the Blue Moon shaving products starring Brett Favre. (I never know if I’m spelling or saying his name right) It doesn’t happen often, but Mark actually bought the product while he was working on it…And it actually works.
Everyone loves looking at the huge video screens in Times Square. This spot for Coke was for those screens. The movements of the characters on the cans affected the cans, making them bounce around. Boards by Mark Simon.
Universal marketing execs decided to have some fun at Disney’s expense. This commercial for their Jurassic Park themed area featured a dinosaur hunting what seems to be the Disney Park Hopper character. Boards by Mark Simon.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a live show based on the Tarzan animation. The spot was a blast to draw, showcasing the action of Tarzan. Boards by Mark Simon.
The Disney parks have great live shows. They often produce commercials to profile new live shows. The Hunchback stage show was one of their best. This spot featured a series of action close-ups before revealing the Hunchback. Boards by Mark Simon.
You know what we like about those post-SuperBowl commercials where the winners yell out “I’m going to Disneyland!”? We like it when we storyboard them. by Mark Simon.
