Tags: Cartooning, Missing, SeemsI'm a geeky toy collector, and to have toys of your own characters is unbelievably cool.
Tags: Characters, Cool, ToysI've been drawing since I was about 3 and I come from a family of artists.
Tags: Artists, Family, SinceThere's a lot you can do without words.
Tags: WordsWe chose the actors thru a series of auditions when we started the show.
Tags: Series, Show, StartedBasicly what I had to do was do a 7 minute board and pitch it to a room of big wigs from the network and based on that they determined if I would get a short or not.
Tags: Big, Room, ShortFirst, there was 2 Stupid Dogs. Then, Dexter's Laboratory. And now, Powerpuff Girls. There were a lot of little things in between, but those were the main ones.
Tags: Between, Dogs, StupidFor a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information.
Tags: Getting, Time, WantedI'm always thinking about what I might want to do next, but there's still things I want to do with Powerpuff - so I can keep going with this one for awhile.
Tags: Keep, Might, ThinkingI'm hoping that word-of-mouth on the film - people seeing it and liking it - that that will drive more people to the theaters, because I haven't seen the billboards or the posters or anything.
Tags: Film, Seeing, SeenIt really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don't, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don't need to have all this talking.
Tags: Sense, Story, TalkingOne of the main things I do is focus on ideas and what stories we decide to tell, but probably the biggest part of my job I'd say is working on the storyboards.
Tags: Focus, Job, WorkingSo what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I'd like them to be. And in some cases I've completely redone a board myself even though I'm not credited for it.
Tags: Process, Though, TryingThe reason they look the way they do is that the first drawing I did of them was really small so I didn't draw fingers, nose, ears, etc and this drawing had a certain appeal that I really liked.
Tags: Nose, Reason, SmallThe shows are either 11 or 22 minutes and they move pretty quickly, and that's part of the charm of them - so it was just trying to keep that in mind and keep the energy of the story moving, even though we were dealing with a longer format.
Tags: Mind, Moving, TryingThe storyboard artists job is to plan out shot for shot the whole show, write all the dialog, and decide the mood, action, jokes, pacing, etc of every scene.
Tags: Job, Whole, WriteWell, for one thing, the executives in charge at Cartoon Network are cartoon fans. I mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don't know how to draw.
