    Intel Series pt 2: “Cliff”

      Just a quick post today – I’ve got quite the backlog of great boards waiting to go up but I have been too busy to make posts!  So I’m just going to kind of rush through the rest of the “Intel” series- after all, I did them all in one day (practically) and no…

  • Intel Series pt 1: “Plunge” featuring the Peak fitness watch

    Intel Series pt 1: “Plunge” featuring the Peak fitness watch

    Another great spot I storyboarded for my clients at Slim Pictures.  These is an Intel commercial but focused on their integration with the latest offerings in computing wearables- called out in this case as the Peak fitness watch.

    Gillette Venus 2015

    I consider myself fortunate to have the pleasure of regularly working with very talented directors who appreciate my passion for good storyboards.  And so it is that I can look forward to, every year, working with director Katja Brauer on her latest Gillette Venus spot- you see, in Germany, they have the German version of…
