EDIT: Argh! Thanks for the DD! Totally didn't expect that. Ha ha! Also, I'll get around to answering some comments over the next couple days here. Answering them all is like a whole other job. But a very rewarding one. XD lol Thanks to everyone for having a look!

------------------------

Here is the beginning of a several part excerpt of a sequence I worked on for Ed, Edd n Eddy.

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDED for these--they're big and full of little details.

The nature of storyboarding is a collaborative one. There is a first pass, a second pass... sometimes a 13th pass! And its possible that many hands can touch the board as it goes. As such, its hard to always credit where credit is due.

Scott Underwood, Jim Miller and I all contributed ideas to this sequence at the so-called 'thumbnail stage'. This is how we refer to a smaller, looser version where we plan out the shots and gags. Its the cleanup phase most often where we get to make meaningful acting decisions and of course expressions. Those were my specialty at the time (some say they still are) so this is where I really got to shine. 90-95% of the drawings shown here are mine. Because I've had such a strong overall influence through drawing and thumbing in this sequence I feel comfortable displaying it as somewhat my own.

As my friends know, I was very emotionally attached to this episode and most of all to this sequence and that in the botanical room after the commercial break.

Again, special thanks goes to both Scott Underwood and Jim Miller for their work on A Fistfull of Ed and for being wonderful mentors to me at AKA.

WOW!! your are just... So good!! Ive been thinking about becoming a storyboard artist myself sometime. I've been practicing drawing and studying different cartoon styles on my own. but im not going anywhere soon. So would you happen to have any advice for a lowly student who has no clue? Like on how to get your name out there and how to improve artistically? or is it all just luck if you get hired for anything or not... Gah!!! I'm so naive!

And its awesome how you worked on ed edd n eddy!! I watched it a lot as a kid and now I'm getting back into it. Now I can understand all the complexities of the characters and appreciate the whimsical animation. Gahh! I'm so jealous of people like you! And i'm glad you're working on my little pony! it's a really great show!

This was my absolute favorite episode from season 5!! I can't describe in words how absolutely awesome it is to see the mechanics behind it, even though I'm not big into animation. I really miss this show :c I've recently been obsessed with watching it again but it's not enough v.v Always thought it'd be cool to see them in college or something XD since most of the people who grew up with the show, like myself, are there right now.

Yea, I was reading the comments on your dodgeball picture! I would have loved to see those extra movie scenes! Is there ever going to be a day when the fans will get to see them? :c

Oh Yeah! The show was excellent..i Wish CN Was back to it roots...they were better..
They now have horrible taste in using flash tweening for animating...
if i do any crappy animation practicing ...id do it the classy way,fbf ,mix very little tween to only help out with the arms ad other limbs in a seperate layer..more or less cheap looking than other flash users who make cartoons nowadays.
