THE MOST MAGNIFICENT THING

THEMOSTMAGTHING_Comingsoon

I’m excited to announce the completion of my directing gig on THE MOST MAGNIFICENT THING, a 22-minute CG featurette for Nelvana. I had the privilege to story shepherd this film for one year and ten months! The talent at this studio inspired me to aim higher. We’ve done it.

Screenwriter John van Bruggen adapted the story to screenplay from Ashley Spires’ book of the same name.

Looking forward to sharing the film at festivals world wide.

Illustrator, teacher and friend, Geraldo Valério created a book on birds of Brazil that is only available in Brazil. But 10 of Geraldo’s prints from the book are available here:

To create the original collages that these prints are based on, Geraldo chose coloured pieces of paper cut from magazines. Read more about his process:

Stella And Sam Wins Rockies:

How cool is this. John van Bruggen my hubby wrote a script called “Night Fairies” for the animated series Stella And Sam. I had the pleasure of story boarding that script and now that show is winning awards like the Banff Fiction Rockies . For more on the awards click here.

Congratulations JvB! Congrats to director Ray Jafelice and his amazing crew at Mercury Filmworks who made this show so lovely. Congrats to John Leitch, Michelle Melanson and Jain Dickson, the producers with the vision at Radical Sheep.

Here’s a screen grab from the show Night Fairies and a comparison page from my original story board.
