Other creators include line producer Amy McKenna, story editor Michael Jelenic and directors Ben Jones, Brandon Vietti and MichaelBTP-44A3 pretty happy with how they came out. I only got to work on this last season, but I feel privileged to have been a part of it. The show goes out with a bang so don't miss it!
The frame grab I posted here was released by WB and just happens to be based on one of my storyboard revisions which is posted beneath it. This pretty much exemplifies the extent of my drawing on the show- crappy little doodles on post-itsBTP-42C1 that are slapped down over the drawings of my storyboard crew. Sometimes I will reboard entire sequences or sometimes I will just redraw a single panel. But because of the difficulties of directing 8 of 13 episodes of a team-based, sci-fi, action show under a strict animation schedule, rarely do I have time to draw anything beyond crude sketches to get the storyboard done (thankfully, this season we had some talented animators at our Korean studios to make us all look good in the aspire 3000 end). I love my job as a director but there are times when it's not artistically satisfying. It makes me crazy that I can't do real, finished art sometimes. I'm hoping this new project I'm on will carry a lighter work load and allow me to get back to doing art to post here.
