Aux.avclub. Storyboarder - The best and easiest way to storyboard. | Wonder Unit. We made Storyboarder because we needed a great storyboarding tool that simply didn't exist. We use tools every day to help us do things. This is especially true with creative persuits. As many artists before us, we think that toolmaking is an important aspect of creation. Making a tool that allows us to realize our vision in a faster, richer, and more meaningful way is well worth the short term investment for the long term benefits.
It is very important that the primary purpose of this tool is to allow us to create better work. We have been accused of trying to rethink the way things are done. Should other people want to use our tools to create something great, nothing should stand in the way of that. Tools are not a replacement for work. I invite you to use our tools freely. Charles Forman // Just some dude who cares. Pixar, colour and tent poles with LOU ROMANO » Thunder Chunky.
Lou Romano likes to get involved! During his time at Pixar, he worked as a production designer, concept artist and voice-over artist on features such as Up and Ratatouille, and he won a prestigious Annie Award for his design work on The Incredibles. He spared us some time to talk about colour scripts, tent poles, Brad Bird and his whole creative process!
Hello and welcome to Thunder Chunky, how do we find you today? I’m doing well, thank you. To any readers out there who may not be familiar with your work, how would you describe yourself in 3 easy-to-follow steps? I work in animation as a production designer & art director, helping establish the visual style, look and tone of a project. Pixar’s latest release is Up and it’s opened to rave reviews. I came onto the show in 2005 as part of the art department, to do visual development work. Some of Lou’s colour studies for Up © Pixar / Disney I usually start by working broader, touching on the main beats or thematic ideas of the story. Toy Story - Storyboarding.
