I just had the awesome experience of getting to direct “Machete” himself, the amazing Danny Trejo! I attached some unused concept art for his character “The Lieutenant”. As I was caricaturing him, I realized he resembled a bloodhound - which was totally fitting for his role in the episode. Woohoo!

Wow! I just heard some crazy news- that “Star vs the Forces of Evil” had the highest rated premiere in Disney TV History (or something like that- I’m pararphrasing)! And I’d like to take a moment to thank all of YOU! Thank you to all the fans for embracing this show and being the audience we were hoping to reach back when we were making this show  last year (has it been that long?) As a token of gratitude I wanted to share with you the animatic for the first episode I storyboarded “Party with a Pony”. It’s a little different from what finally aired, and most of the voices are done by Daron Nefcy herself and Dave Wasson. A lot of very talented people worked very hard to make this show happen and it’s so great that everyone is finally able to see it.  Again, thank you everybody! Get ready for more crazy awesomeness to come!!! 

This is posted primarily for portfolio purposes, and non-profit educational purposes for those who are interested in the animation process, and falls under fair use. “Star vs the Forces of Evil” is Copyright Disney Television Animation.

Hey Everybody! I guess since the intro for "Star and the Forces of Evil" has been out for a while now, I can post this! Here is an alternate version of the intro sequence I storyboarded- kind of a first pass to what the current "Star" intro sequence ended up being. It took a little over a week to do, incorporating a lot of input from the show's creator Daron Nefcy. It was a challenge to try and stuff everything about the show into 30 seconds all while keeping time to the song. This is an "animatic" (so no animation) and since this won't make it to air I thought the fans might get a kick out of seeing it. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tumblr love superfunkysushimonkey! I'll try to post the board once the episode airs- I was asked to take it down for the time being. Thanks again!

Has no one seen Ian Wasseluk’s awesome “Clarence” storyboards yet? This guy’s done some work for tons of awesome cartoons like “Billy & Mandy”, “Chowder”, “My Gym Partner’s a Monkey”, “The Mighty B!”, “Steven Universe”, and now he’s currently working on “Star and the Forces of Evil”!

This episode went through quite a few rewrites- this joke was something that originated with CH Greenblatt and William Reiss in the animatics room. It was getting late and we were all pretty delirious at this point.

When I was growing up, once I heard the "MASH" theme song and saw this helicopter landing, I knew it was WAY TOO LATE. Special thanks to Kyle at http://tvskyle.tumblr.com/ !!

I call it the "Chicken Shit"©. It's when you're scared of being heard while doing your business, but you gotta get business done! And you look like a chicken while doing it. Thank you darrickbachman.tumblr.com for the suggestion! You da man!
