storyboard excerpts for honda

[bonzelite]

i did this job recently for honda. i will post some of the frames that feature the car. these are all done with pencil on bond. freehand sketches. very quick. all angles are invented and do not exist as references:

another part of a larger sequence:

[bonzelite]

dad and son bonding thing. the whole spot is about that, and, of course,
the car. the bottom frame of the car only was drawn in about two minutes.

[bonzelite]

all of these posted storyboard angles are invented. i repeat this to drive home the point. i only had a flat-on 3/4 front and 3/4 rear angle reference of the car. the storyboard artist must interpolate, if you will, what is not provided.

[bonzelite]

the idea of the spot is the dad and kid get in the middle of a sprinkler attack while playing catch. they find refuge in the car (honda). they go to another park or some shyt like that, on some scenic drive route, to escape the sprinklers. they return home bonded and happy from the drive experience in the new car. hey, man, it ain't my idea. i just create the shots:

[bonzelite]

there's heaps more shots, drawings, but they are heavy on the actors in the car. without those, and the proper order, you kind of cannot understand what is going on.

also, i want to add, too, as some may not quite understand, this is *all* i do for a job. this is my day job. and night job, at times. in other words -i don't have 'another job.' this is not a hobby for me. this is my mortgage and food and gas and movies. and that was a goal i deliberately went for.

and there are other ways to make a living with drawing besides what i do. many more. so it can be done. look at me. i'm living proof of it. and all of this is not done "on the computer." it is all hand-drawn. this is why i have laxed behind some people in the digital age. but thanks to lemorris, and others, i have started the photoshop journey and now use it to make money, too.

if you can solidly draw, period, and then use the computer, you can become an unstoppable force. so many people are discouraged away from drawing. and uninformed as$holes with authority can kill the dreams and ambitions of talented people. so don't listen to them. listen to me. i am an as$hole with authority who will tell you the truth.

[bonzelite]

oh yeah, i forgot to add that the honda somehow makes them "magically dry." like whatever, but that is why in a frame up top somewhere you see the kid and dad looking bewildered. actually, the dad looks like he's about to choke or something. but he's confounded as to why his shirt is so dry.

ooohh... I want that job!

I don't understand the storyboard, but the drawings are cool and quick.

BTW honda is stealing the father/son commercial thing from toyota's camry commercial.

[Jeep_Rubicon]

Nice drawings, that looks like it would be sort of fun to do.

[you]

they should cut out the father son parts of it...

Good sketches!! I like the forth sketch down with the landscape.

commercials rip-off each other constantly. the idea has been done
in another way years ago. and shall be years from now.
