Tigre + Curevo

This was the last beat board I did before Gabe Swarr became our second Director.  Prior to this I had directed every episodes myself. It was an awesome experience, but mentally and physically I was at my limit - and you can see at the end of the beatboard, my arm just gave out.

After Gabe came on, life got a lot better, and so did the shows. With half my Directing workload lifted, there was a lot more time to spend on everything! As the Supervising Producer I still worked on every episode. But with a super genius like Gabe at the helm, I didn't have to worry about much. His episodes are some of our best. My only regret is that we didn't promote him sooner.

Beatboards

It’s a very hard to tell another artist what you want to see using words. So, one of the things I do as a Director, is a beatboard – which describes in pictures, how I’d like to see the key moments of the storyboard handled.

Black Cuervo was the first episode to go into production. Extra time was added to the schedule so artists could get used to drawing digitally. I got a little extra time as well, which is why this beatboard is the largest.
