ELLIOTT FROM EARTH

EPISODE DIRECTION

Throughout 2019 I was the Episode Director for CARTOON NETWORK’s new show ELLIOTT FROM EARTH. I had the great pleasure of working with the legendary MIC GRAVES, TONY HULL and much of the talented team behind THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL. Mic (and many others) had to hack open the top of my head and force an entirely new language into it, for which I am eternally grateful. When the show ran beyond the initial deadline, I had a prior engagement with ROBIN ROBIN at AARDMAN, so handed the Episode Direction duty reins to the brilliant RHYS BYFIELD.

Thanks to GUI CASSUTO for bringing me on. Props to MIYU, and STUDIO SOI for the heavy lifting. The animation was superly Supervised by CRCR’s JEREMY PIERS. OLIVER HAMILTON bloomin nailed it as Storyboard supervisor. ROB HUNTER and YANN BENDI made the highest of Art as Art Directors. RICH OVERALL milked magic as Voice Director. Congrats also to the many wonderful props and character designers, storyboard, background and layout artists, music by XAV. Likewise the production team - MICHELLE RODDA kicked some production ass. SARAH FELL exec-ing the heck-ing (?) out the show. And Line Produced by the incredible, the unruffle-able LISA SMITH. And everyone else I didn’t mention (sorry/well done/sorry). Phew! Take a bow and then a sleep, everyone. Well done.
