Gnomeo and Juliet movie clip "Kick some grass"

In this clip you can see where they have used my boards and where they edited scenes in and out. Its great to see your ideas transformed into an end product and eventually on the big screen. Enjoy :)

Gnomeo and Juliet storyboard

When Kelly Asbury (director on Gnomeo and Juliet) asked me to board "Gnomeo prepares for blue raid" sequence, it was completely different scripted. At that time Kelly wasn't sure himself about this sequence and asked me to come up with something new if possible. I remembered a trailer of one of the Rambo movies where we just see a montage of Close ups of Rambo preparing to go to war. I thought it would be an homage to that particular genre of film and at the same time a fun experience to translate it into the Gnomeo and Juliet movie. As a result, Kelly was pleased with the result and so it ended up being used in the film.

Facial expressions Grand Santa (Arthur Christmas)

I worked for a short period on Arthur Christmas as a storyboard artist at Aardman, this is a expression sheet I did on Grand Santa. When I started there the characters where under development and the director hadn't made any final decisions on the look.
Grand Santa was my favorite character as he is this seniel, crazy old man who likes nothing more then then arguing with Athurs older brother. This is my rough version.
