This is a storyboard test I did for Fosters. Not for a job really, but for my portfolio, a lot of the artists recomended doing it, to show 1. Your sense of boarding and 2. how you handle other people's characters. I showed them Craig McCracken, he thought they were pretty good.
Ben Balistreri gave me some good advice on it, so I changed a few things, and would probably change some more. Below is a picture that Ben drew for me, It's awesome. He's one of the best artists i've ever seen. I learned a lot from him this summer.
Hey, thanks a lot! Are you really going to make a cartoon now? I can't wait! You've got mad skills, I'm surprised Foster's was only paying you in school credits, we could really use more people that KNOW how to draw on the crew. Hope to see you around.
My name is Josh, I'm 24, some people call me Hat.
I dropped out of school and moved to California to pursue my dreams of writing and boarding for animation. I interned at Cartoon Network on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and then at Dreamwork's on 'How to Train Your Dragon'. I recently completed a pilot for Cartoon Network called "The Awesome Chronicles of Manny and Khan" with my good friend Joey Giardina. I also got an opportunity to work on Cartoon Network's Flapjack doing storyboard revisions and clean-up. Now I'm back at Dreamworks doin storyboards for an upcoming animated feature. Animation is my life, it's all I've ever wanted to do... it's all I've ever actually done. I love animation history; Max Fleischer, Frank Tashlin, Michael Lah. I could watch Tex Avery shorts all day.
My heroes are;
Jason Mraz
Tex Avery
Craig McCracken
Stephen Hillenburg
and Ben Franklin
