This is one of two storyboards I did on Scooby Doo in 2009/10. I’m pretty sure of the date, since this board, for episode 345-623 (“Attack of the Headless Horror”) was done while I was trying to learn Storyboard Pro (now the industry-standard software for doing boards). Back then, it was still optional to do paper boards, but I was about to start work at the (then) start-up studio, Bento Box Entertainment, on its first series, the now-forgotten “Neighbors From Hell”. A requirement of this pending staff position was that I be able to use said cutting-edge software. I was somewhat miffed that my director/producer, Vic Cook, only gave me 2 script pages, but, as it turned out, I needed every minute of the 3 allotted weeks. I had two steep learning curves 1) How to navigate SBPro; 2) How to draw on my first-ever Cintiq.
Actually, this might not be my FIRST storyboard using the Cintiq & SBPro; the other Scooby board (also done in SBPro) has the episode #345-608, so it was probably done before this one.Looking at my Morning-Pages journal from the week of September 19 to 25, I read descriptions of my difficulties boarding an unnamed Scooby Board (using SBPro) for Mr. Cook. Probably not this one, because I groused (in my journal) about have to draw 5 characters walking and talking. I probably worked #635 the following Spring during the fallow period between the end of “Neighbors from Hell” and the beginning of “Bob’s Burgers”.
