Story Artist at Sony Pictures Animation. Prev: Director on Disney/Marvel’s Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, & story artist at Netflix, WAG feature, Dreamworks TV
Grateful our leads gave my team the chance to figure him out as a character, his treatment, and general weirdness
He’s a dimensional being so we wanted him to go meta/break film & logic constraints: transcend split screens, break screen direction, etc
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
Trivia: this was 20 unedited seconds of Jermaine Fowler wailing and gnashing his teeth over Wish-Tar that Ryan Burkhard (editor of this ep) found in the alt takes folder.
Word has it that Jermaine did this unprompted and entirely on his own 😭

ep 4 Check Yourself is home to my first mixtape on the show. I've been meaning to post some
#storyboards
. No music cuz licensing, so.. use your imagination? 😭
It's always fun seeing how the 1st pass changes over time to become what it is in the final.
The mixtape in Like Mother Like Moon Girl is one of my favs. The ep dealt with gentrification & the silencing of what made the community vibrant, & MG & the LES fought back with music!
More info & super rough pass MOV below in thread👇🧵

⚠️Spoiler warning for Centaurworld S2
Felt compelled to release some 2019 CW boards into the wild, starting with this. "The Best Dad" - It's one of my fav things I did on the show. Poor Durpy (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
Not the official

we call these musical fight scenes “mixtapes”!
This was my first mixtape I storyboarded on the show (ep 4) 🥹 The song is “I Came to Play” by Eli “Paperboy” Reed
One of these days when I’m a bit freed up I might post some of my boards 🫠

Jackson Wang’s concert was spectacular. Im just.. blown away. A whole theatrical production with a story. My god the dance routines, the music, his VOICE 🫠 This man puts on a SHOW.
If anyone ever gets a chance to see him, do it! 😩👌✨

So here's my original thirsty version of s2ep11 Roller Jam end credits that DIDN'T go to final:
Supermodel Blue Streak x Vehicle Photoshoot🥵
Found the perfect Jackson Wang song for it too 😎
Brian Glory drives it like he stole it, prob cuz he stole it
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
Brian Glory is a Wheels Champion who has won many wheel-based competitions. But, he’s determined to prove Moon Girl wrong and challenges her to a wheels contest. 🌕 🦖
Manny Jacinto ("Hailey's On It!") guest stars as Brian Glory

music fest was heaps fun! And Jackson Wang is a fantastic live performer, like one of the best I’ve seen. I felt like I was watching a rock musical.
Don’t know if I can do this again tho my whole body hurts (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
Not sure what song this is but it’s hottt
Another bit in the trailer I might have had a hand in?
I'll drop boards for it in the medium-length future! Hopefully people play the story/adventure on

It took a village to make this episode, so here's a thread highlighting some of my fav moments while shouting out the incredible artists who worked on it:
That’s
@Desoluz
for ya! I was shooketh when I first saw this design for The Beyonder, it was nothing like I had seen before
My team ended up getting the majority of Bey eps for s1 and 2 and when I tell you we nearly lost our minds drawing him so much🫠
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
On this note, any fellow Jackson Wang fans out there? There might be a smol Jackson easter egg I shamelessly threw somewhere into this very episode 😳

Doodling him on the margin got me thru the tougher episodes and gave me the energy to go on LOL 😳
I might have a bunch more but he's scattered over too many sbpro files and I can't be bothered searching 😅
#JacksonWang
#JacksonWangFanart
The Beyonder is.. a lot. Kellye Perdue freelanced with us a bit and did the first pass of the cafeteria and library scene and
@ChivaunF
and
@JazLyte
did amazing comedy punch ups to them. The slurpy scratch sfx of Beyonder slipping through the bookcase still haunts my nightmares😭
I am maybe perhaps at another Jackson Wang concert… in NYC..
But anyway this slow jam version of Drive You Home ( ´༎ຶㅂ༎ຶ`) his voice..
#JacksonWangworldtour
#MAGICMANinNYC
We have a lot of new characters this season and ngl my note at design launch for a couple of episodes was: “hey

pls make them hot 🥺🥵🙏”
Uh also storytelling is my passion.

New promo for ‘MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR’ Season 2 featuring the new guest stars.

My fav part to board, he's such a little weirdo:
I recall the 1st pass wasn't working and I took a weekend to work on this bit 🫠 IT'S SUPER ROUGH OK I was rushing it out don't judge me
My team editor Ryan and I worked on a rough music pass for lead approval then
@gabeohmusic
did this cool STOMP style version for music ref!
It's always a challenge introducing the main villain of the season in a way that does them some justice. Beyonder's first musical number went through a number of board renditions OTL, and
@_Wolfsteak_
helped me out BIG time on the final version!

#Centaurworld
boards! It's a song at the start of S2 recapping S1, so.. ⚠️Spoiler alert for the entire S1?
I remember hearing the track and having a (way too) rare moment of knowing exactly what I wanted to do for it👌
#animatic
#storyboard
We open with a villain who imo has one of the most fun powers on the show: Stiletto!
Fun fact -
@sktchmstrskllz
boarded this really cool intro sequence, but he also came up with the concept for Stiletto AND pitched the design for her.
Here are the 51st Annie Awards Nominees for Best TV/Media - Children! Congrats to CURSES!, Hilda, Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, My Dad the Bounty Hunter and Shape Island!

I remember
@steveloter
giving the note: "We need to go harder" for end of the fight. After brainstorming with
@e1n
, I dived into boards.
It's a scene I'm still very proud of. Ryan Burkhand (IG:@ rybuda) found the perfect track that elevated this scene to another level.
One of the things I'm most grateful about for
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
is how collaborative the creative process it - EPs and directing supes who are excited to see what you have to bring to the table. 🥹
The most incredible production trivia about this ep is that almost the entire story team worked on it in some capacity. Big thanks to
@pearljeli
@AshGMonstrology
and
@annielidraws
for helping out on some scenes and making the moments hit. >_<
And to one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to work with, thanks
@e1n
for directing this episode with me. I learned so much from you, am still learning from you, and you're instrumental to why this episode, and the whole series, is as realized as it should be. 🥹
This mixtape was insane and it took many hands to get it to where it is today. The 1st pass was done by Tyre Jones (IG: @ tyre.jones)
@e1n
and
@Bananimator
helped take it to the finish. Ben was a big part in conceptualizing the look and physics-breakage of the Beyonder's powers.
Spoilers for
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
's THE MOLECULAR LEVEL ⚛️
You don't get many opportunities to board when directing, so I was excited when had the opportunity to help
@pixelsamm
for this mixtape!! This is only a portion of what I drew, another time I'll show the rest
Also! Blue Streak aka Brian Glory is voiced by
@MannyJacinto
!!! 😳😳
He was perfect and a joy to work with in the recording booth. Just insanely talented 🥹
#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
I might have boarded this shot 👀
Will try to drop some storyboards when I get a moment!
Pls give We Lost Our Human a go! It was so much fun to work on. Everything about it is 😚👌✨

Incredibly honoured to say I was a storyboard artist on the pilot for this show + another ep!
Congrats James! Can't wait for the show to premiere. And thank you

Please check it out when it's out people!
After YEARS of work I’m finally allowed to share what we’ve been cooking up! WE MADE A NETFLIX SHOW! Collaborating with so many amazing people has been a dream come true and I hope you all enjoy the show later this year!

It took a village to make this episode, so here's a thread highlighting some of my fav moments while shouting out the incredible artists who worked on it:
I don't have everyone's socials but I'm also so thankful to all the other departments - writing, production, design, edit, sound mix, recording... And since I DO have animation's social, huge kudos to the inhouse anim team, and
@flyingbark
for the insane work you guys have done!

#MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur
And a lil shoutout to
@georgiahen17
, who at the time wasn't officially on my team, but helped out with cute another Lu/Ed sequence at the start of the ep! Her facial expression for Lu freaking out here is the exact same face as in the final animation LOL
I love this Lu/Ed scene.
@sixiaotang
boarded this emotional sequence (and channeled a lot of anime/c-drama energy?) Many people on the crew became Eduardo stans after this. 🥹
Six also had a hand in coming up with fun ideas on how Beyonder's powers could look/work.
After our leads approved this chicken scratch version, a bunch of artists helped:
@yunhaoani
(who also did the mixtape scene before this)
@annielidraws
@e1n
and I roughed/cleaned the rest up,
@Bananimator
helped with awesome action punch ups, and
@georgiahen17
did revisions!
Just rolled of
