Storyboards
1st Animatic: Cyberspace Pirate Captain Alice must fend off her nemesis Cero, as she encounters him in a mushroom themed kart racing game. With the help of her robot companion RAM and her trusty light sword she battles for her freedom!
2nd Animatic: A group of Cyberspace Pirates make a daring escape from a souls-like video game, after retrieving their stolen ‘Oui Remote’ from a band of monstrous NPCs.
These animatics were created in Blender using my own storyboarding add-on ActionBoards. I created all the 3D models all the proxy assets myself, while also designing all the characters, props, and locations. (+ temp track dialogue.)
Cyberspace Pirates is currently in development as a digital comic series, with completed scripts for a 12 episode animated series.
Opening and chase sequence from the episodes “The Jungle Jam” and “Sparks’ Pink-tastic Pursuit” of SuperKitties Su-Purr Adventures, Season 2. These animatics were created using Storyboard Pro, with 3D Previs created in Blender with ActionBoards.
3D previs was used for the entirety of these episodes. This approach was used to create shots and camera moves that work within the already existing 3D environments.
Here is a list of the other episodes I Storyboarded: “Budies’ Balloon Adventure“, “Wildcat Cavern Catch“, parts of “Wild Scavenger Hunt“, and pre-vis for “Let’s Go Su-pur Wild“.
Note: Audio not included as it’s a policy of the client.
Storyboard made in Blender using a personally coded add-on, for streamlining 2D and 3D reproduction. This is a sequence taken from the upcoming sequel to my graphic novel “Chicken Man in the Attack of the Vegetable People”.
Chicken Man shows up in an attempt to stop The Fantastic Turd and his Bunions (bread minions) from stealing an experimental weapon called the particle disperse-u-lator!
Vol.1 of Chicken Man can be purchased on the FunPix Gumroad Store.
Two samples of Lucas The Spider storyboards form the episodes “Big Mouth”, and “Big Jumping Spider”.
Early in production most BG were drawn by hand with select live action plates needed for re-use in some scenes.
Near the end of production shot choices became a lot more limited as all live action photography had finished, however a CGI fish tank was created. Board artists were given freedom to explore more compositions within that environment.
Here is a list of some other episodes I Storyboarded: “The Big Squeak“, “I Can’t See You“, “Something Up There“, “Dollhouse Mates“, and“Arlo’s Portrait“.
Excerpt from a section I storyboarded for the 11th episode of Total Drama Island (2023) In this sequence the campers need to take selfies with wiled animals in order to rack up points to win their weekly challenge.
All backgrounds for Total Drama Island were designed prior to the storyboarding stage to maximize asset reuse. It was also critically important to keep characters on module, due to the stylized nature of the show.
I was also responsible for creating my own guide track, as this episode had rewrites late in production.
New Frontiers is an adventure comedy series I’ve been developing, focused on aviation and conspiracy theories. Taking place in the hidden continents beyond “The Ice Wall”. This animatic is adapted from the first two pages of the pilot script. (Pun intended!)
Newlyweds Amelia and Jim Dandy are on an expedition to the Antarctic in search of a mysterious temple Jim’s late Father wrote about in his journal.
This storyboard was created in Blender 3.5 using a custom storyboarding add-on / pipeline that I created myself. I also modeled all of the 3D assets.
Fell free to check out the FunPix YouTube channel to learn more about my process for using ActionBoards to create 3D animatics like this one!
If you would like to try out ActionBoards, licenses of the add-on are available to buy on the FunPix Gumroad Store.
Thank you for viewing my storyboard portfolio!

An early character exploration board for the Stop-motion Short Film “The Curious Tale of Aunt Binks”.
In this version Aunt Binks is helping little Beanie look all throughout town, in the hopes to find her missing sister, Abby! In this particular venture they have a quick run in at the ole retirement home.
This animatic is part of the climax from my 2019 Sheridan Capstone Film “Cyberspace Pirates”.
At this point in the story Alice and her Pirate Crew are caught robbing a pawn shop, when Cero (a super-cop) arrives at the scene of the crime!
This animatic was created using Photoshop and Premiere Pro, with Blender for 3D pre-vis shots.
