Pencil-to-Pencil

From animation to the biggest billion dollar block-buster movies the story cannot go from script to screen without the storyboard artist. This episode we interview two of the top storyboard artists working today, Tim Burgard and Benton Jew. From Star Wars to the Terminator, Jurassic World and even the Simpsons these two master storytellers have lent their storytelling skills to some of the top movies and TV shows today. What does it takes to be a storyboard artist in Hollywood? Listen and find out!

In this episode of Pencil To Pencil we catch up with Howard Chaykin fresh off of finishing his recent mini series for Image Comics, Hey Kids Comics. It’s clear Chaykin loves comics and has nearly a 50-year career to prove it, from his early days as an assistant to Gil Kane, his highly influential work on American Flagg and Black Kiss, to his turn at illustration and writing for TV. Examples of Chaykin’s work and more can be found on our discussion forum. http://penciltopencil.com/forums/topic/show-notes-episode-2-howard-chaykin/

In our first episode Mike, Jamar, and Bret discuss what each artist has going on in their studios, the work flow and current projects.
