Welcome! My intention with this blog is to provide updates to those who might be interested in my current project, a half-hour long animated film about David the shepherd and the events leading up to the most famous battle in history. This film will use an animation technique that has never been done before. I hope to offer a unique visual experience that can measure up to the impact and drama of this truly inspirational story about faith.

Unfortunately, after a year in preproduction, I've come to realize that to see my entire script realized will take more time and manpower than I currently have access to. So my goals have evolved, and I am now focusing on bringing just the first scene of the script to fruition as a standalone short film. This film will be called "David and the Lion" and will tell the story of David rescuing a lamb from a lion, an event barely mentioned in the bible. When that film is finished, I hope to be able to attract the help I need to finish the larger movie I set out to make.

Storyboards for "David and the Lion" - Wait... What?

Storyboarding helps directors visualize a scene. They generally look something like these samples I did on commission a few months back. When doing the boards for David and Goliath, it became more and more apparent how big a project this was. It was stressful to think that I would be working on this movie for the next 15 years (not joking). Then it hit me... the first scene is a movie in itself. It took me about 12 seconds to make up my mind... I would focus all my attention on only the first scene, where David fights the lion. Then when that's done, people will see that I'm awesome and they'll line up to give me millions of dollars to make the rest. ...I think that's how that works.
