Welcome to the Story Department! Here we take a lot of pride in combining quality drawings with juvenile humor to create movie magic. We’re the first step in visualizing the written script into pictures. Each of us draws a different chunk of the script then "pitch" it to the Director. Hopefully, the director laughs. If not, we slink away in shame and go “back to the drawing board!”

The basic elements of our drawings show camera angles, sequence staging but most importantly we’re trying to add as much humor and character as possible as well as fix plot problems and pacing. We constantly think of ways to “punch up” the script. While many scripts deserve a good beating, that’s not what “punch up” means — it simply means we try to make it as gut-busting and hilarious as possible. Thousands of jokes will be pitched during this process. If one of yours actually makes it into the final movie, give yourself a pat on the back. Well done!
