This is my storyboard for the premiere episode of “The Roswell Conspiracies: Myths and Legends”, Act One. The series aired in 1999 on Bhobot’s Kid Network (BKN) and was produced by Epoch Ink.
Joe Pearson and Stephanie Graziano were co-producers. The story editors were Bob Forward and Greg Johnston. Kaaren Lee Brown is listed in Wikipedia as the co-creator butdoesn't specify whom with. Tom Tataranowicz and I were co-directors. Eddie Lin, Chuck Patton and John Fox were my storyboard crew. Brad Coombs was the lead character stylist. Harry Warner and Young Yoon were the prop and special effects designers. Gregg Davidson is listed in Wikipedia, but I can’t remember what he did (sorry Gregg).
I directed this episode, and storyboarded almost 2/3’s of it, in rough form. I have re-cleaned my original storyboard for inclusion into my forthcoming on-line portfolio.
