Synopsis - “Pet” short

I drew these boards for a 2 page short script based on a series I would like to pitch in the future, and it features a scene where Tess, an earnest but bumbling hero from Earth, meets an adorable new friend with frightening powers on an alien planet.

Extra special thanks to the Brain Trust for their valuable notes and encouraging feedback on these boards!

Overview

Below is an overview of an excerpt from these boards - I wanted to show you how the scene evolved, so I have the tie downs and rough thumbnails of this same scene below these overview boards!

Tie-Downs!

The slides below are a selection of tie-downs to show the process, followed by super duper rough thumbs! My process on this piece was to thumb everything out by hand in a sketchbook with a ball point pen, rough, messy, small, then bring those thumbs into storyboard pro and tie them down, then I completed the cleanups. I had a ton of fun working on this piece, and I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Thumbnails!

I drew these thumbs in a sketchbook just to rough out the ideas, then I took pictures and pulled them into Storyboard Pro for timing / reference.
