Another NJ2 sequence!

Set on a roller coaster. Surly and Buddy try to stop the Mayor from getting away in a balloon. Watched a lot of P.O.V. roller coaster vids for this one!

Keep a look out for Jeff Dickson’s amazing shot of roller coaster wheels and track. Fellow story artist Yu Su did several backgrounds with me and Jennifer Chen added a safety bar gag. It was a group effort!

NJ2 Sample board

Here’s a look at a story sequence I boarded from the feature THE NUTJOB 2, NUTTY BY NATURE. This was the first sequence I boarded right after coming onto the show in late 2015. It was a pile of fun.  Done in Photoshop.

My stuff starts at the 4 second mark. Story supervisor Jeff Dickson boarded the bit at the head. All the rest of this sequence is my work except for a few panels as the squirrels are scrambling to get out of the way before the sign falls.
