The Bad Guys 2 - DreamWorks Feature Animation, Theatrical

I was an early addition to the BG2 story team pre-green light, and one of the last to leave when we locked story.  Bad Guys 2 leadership gave our story team a ton of creative agency, and this enabled me to contribute much more beyond my usual story work to the film and BG Short, (released in theaters alongside Dogman)​

 

​Overall, my work on this film spans all 3 acts, and a number of my sequences are largely unchanged from my original boards - Here is a selection of my favorite sequences:

Silence of The Pig - Character Reveal; Comedic conflict + contrast, cinematic staging and comedic timing; contributed Acting, Writing, + Character development 

*
largely unchanged from original boards in final picture *

Return of Tommy-Lee Chief - Chief Misty Luggins is on the case! Contributed Acting, Writing + Character development

SUCM Twist/Marmalade's Tale - Comedic montage + comedy-related action; contributed Character development, Acting, writing + gags

The A-Team/ Final images - Comedic acting and Cinematic staging; contributed acting, writing + gags

The Wedding Crashers Heist - One of my proudest creative accomplishments was my key contribution to the Wedding Heist set piece in Act 2:  I was hand picked by show leadership in close collaboration with the film's writer to co-lead an internal story team task-force, to conceptualize and build the penultimate set piece of the film, from early ideation all the way through to the final version that audiences saw in theaters. 

​

Over a full year, we went through countless versions and configurations - please enjoy this selection of early Beat boards and an acting GIF
