Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness

 

In 2019 I worked for seven months as a story artist on the animated feature: Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness. We worked with a small team of only three story artists, working closely with director Benjamin Mousquet. 

Chickenhare, based on the graphic novels by Chris Grine, is an exciting adventure story full of danger and action. It was a wonderful opportunity to play around in this world. The storyboard below is part of the thrilling opening sequence.

My Little Pony: A New Generation

 


In 2018 /2019 I worked eight months as an in-house story artist on My Little Pony: A New Generation. I had a great time working with an international team of extremely talented artists. 

Storm Heist

An exciting scene from a completely different version of the movie. In this scene the main characters plan an elaborate heist to steal the magic stone during a concert of Princess Pipp. There’s only one problem, the stone is part of the stage... 

This sequence was a lot of fun to do, even though I had to finish it in a bit of a rush to make the deadline for the first screening. While I was working on it, it was already clear that this wasn’t going to be in the final movie but I still got to complete it and it was a blast to see it in the edit. 


Beat Boards

The beat boards below were made after we had our first screening of the movie. They were done to explore the possibility for a song when Sunny, the main character, is sad and alone after her actions led to the ponies’ magic stone losing its power. The story went through a lot of changes and this storyline is no longer in the film, the characters of Sunny, Hitch and Sprout are still in there though!

Get that Cat!

 

In 2020 I participated in Matt Jones’s Story for Feature Animation class. As my final assignment for this class I boarded out a sequence based on an idea I have for a feature film. It’s a spy comedy set in Paris in the 1960’s, about a shy girl who gets mistaken for a super villain when she tries to find her cat.

Film Studies


Every morning, before I begin working, I do a page of film studies. This way I make my way through an entire movie, one page at a time. Sof far I’ve sketched out Jaws, A very long Engagement and What Lies Beneath in their entirety. Right now I’m in the middle of Terminator 2

Doing film studies is the ideal warm-up, after a page of these sketches I’m all set to go. It is also the absolute best way to study the inner workings of film. It’s like taking a watch apart and closely studying the function of every moving part. Getting to the end of a film is extremely gratifying, looking at the hundreds of pages of studies, and realizing how much this film taught me. I love it.
