The series bible cover for my all-puppet post-apocalyptic sitcom satire NUCLEAR FAMILY. Hopefully coming to a TV screen near you in the future!

My Full Count didn’t make finals at Barnstorm Fest but the short list was already a win in my book. Congrats to the finalists!

On Mondopiece Theatre, we make fun of the worst of the worst exploitation movies, but as it turns out, we should have been doing failed TV pilots instead. That is where the real horror lies! youtu.be/pCvwSRj0gts

"The Golem" interior shot #1.

This one was really cool to work on, trying to get the best of that oppressive and humid feeling the production wanted. We're in the belly of an old and wrecked Golem.

I wish I had more time to explore much more claustrophobic scenes, to see how far I could push it.

This is both an actual tome of legit witchcraft information but also for a tv show idea I have that I wrote a pilot for. I’m a wee obsessed with witches.

"The Golem" exterior shot.
Showing a giant robot half buried in a forest was trickier than anticipated, especially since I had to come up at the same time with its design, which means body shapes and head features. I put a hand in the back of the picture for scale.

For my pilot, I created seven main characters around whom the series would revolve. It has only been recently that I have made the decision as to which of the seven will be the main character. This character will have contrasting traits that will clash with each other and also with the other characters...🤔😃

"The Forest" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Challenging one, trying to get the moss right and find a proper lighting for this scene. I like to paint tree trunks but leaves and moss are always tricky.

Mekka Nikki is produced by Dada ! Animation.

"The Cave" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Rocks again! But this time, wet ones! Different exercise than the desert one.

The challenge was to render a bit of depth and show the round "doline cave" shape, with a troglodyte village in the back.

"Desert canyon" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

I love painting rocks so this one was a real treat, and one of my favorite of the whole set.

I added a fun extra one I sent to the studio for a quick laugh (which also shows my inspiration and why I like painting rocks. ^^)

"The village" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.
This one contains 6 depth layers, fully painted, meant to be "animated" in After Effects to add a cool parallax effect.

Mekka Nikki © Dada! Animation, based on the comicbook series by Felix Laurent & Exaheva.
Characters by Antoine Bouzin.

A concept art I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.
Very cool assignment. Fun environment to play with. :)
(Kind of reminiscing of the Mortal Engines sky city, yes.)

I did background designs and paintings for the Mekka Nikki pilot trailer, produced by Dada! Animation.

It was challenging on some parts, every shot had to contain multiple fully painted layers, in order to be "animated" in After Effects, adding very cool parallax effects.

It was a first for me, doing finalized "on screen" BGs.

Question to ask about your script opening:

Does the protagonist have a goal before the inciting incident (that the inciting incident derails)?

Are we invested in the story that they start in?

Before the inciting incident, do we care about them / relate to them / like them / like their story world / want them to win / want to hang out with them?

TL;dr - Does the script give us a reason to want to stay with this story until the real plot takes off?

@JeffLieber GOLD.

Love that you're sharing the rules here. I did attempt to screenshot all of them and ended up losing track.

My pilot more than benefitted from these rules.

Just found out my spec, “Hawkwood” (a light Wodehouse-Ian/Agatha Christie-ish ) is a Finalist in the LA International Screenplay Awards, which pushed up its ranking @Coverfly to the Top 35% of all Discoverable Projects! Also just had a successful table-read for it @SpotlightUK on the West End w/a very talented & funny cast of UK actors! Now I just need to get a so I can submit it & my other tv specs to !🤞
