A few choice screen grabs from our 20 second w.i.p GROJBAND opening. Thanks for all the hard work GB team - this looks wicked!!! Lyrics below:

Got a band that's pretty cool
Stealing word from you know who
Playing gigs when we can
Trying to impress our fans
Older sister goes berserk
Her temper is her biggest quirk
I got a plan that might just work
Now - we're gunna rock
And we're gunna roll
We are Grojband woah-oh-ooooh.

TRINA'S DIARY SEQUENCE

Here's a section of Trina's diary sequence. The idea behind this sequence was to have a 
Sailor Moon-esque moment that could be reused in every episode. Although, we do tweak the sequence depending upon what mood she's in when she 'GOES DIARY'.

This particular freak out is from S1E03 Creep Away Camp. Thus the marsh mallows. It has nothing to do with TDI ;) But I must admit, I do like marsh mallows.

SO, HOW DO YOU DO IT?

When people find out what I do for a living, they usually say "Wow, that's a cool job!" And they're right! But making cartoons is a lot of work. Dozens and dozens of people work together on about a million different parts of a production just to make one 11-minute episode.

Here's a really bare-bones breakdown of the process for GROJBAND. Each of the stops along this timeline could easily be expanded to be a full page of it's own.
It's still a cool job!

NICK MALLORY

NICK MALLORY

16 year old Nick Mallory is a real looker, and get this - he’s NICE too. He sits between Trina and Mina in homeroom and ALL the girls are crushing on him - EVEN the school's principal seems to be smitten with him. Maybe it’s because he’s a straight A student, captain of the football team with all the charm of a Hollywood heart throb.

So if Nick Mallory could have anyone, why does he want Trina? Good question. It seems the more Corey and the band mess with Trina, the more interesting she becomes to Nick Mallory. He sees her differently then the rest of us and thinks Trina’s vulnerable side is a whole lotta fun and kind of adorable. Nick Mallory’s one flaw - Nick Mallory talks in the 3rd person.

Laney's usually pretty skeptical of Corey's big ideas for the band. And for good reason. Things never turn out exactly as they plan. 

This is a storyboard panel from a sequence I'm working on this weekend. Doing boards digitally lets us drop actual production backgrounds into our scenes where we can draw our characters on top. It makes things a bit easier for each department down the line.

STORYBOARD PITCH!!!

Storyboard artist Brian Coughlan came in and pitched us a sequence for an upcoming episode where Trina's soul is trapped in her car. What does a possessed car do in the world of GROJBAND? Why, go to the mall for a make-over shopping spree, natch.


Storyboard pitches historically have been done by having the artist hang their drawings up on the walls and then talk and act their way through the show. We work digitally now, so we have the guys talk and act their way through the show while showing their drawings on our computer screen.

LANEY (Bryn McAuley) made a GROJBAND cake to celebrate our last record. 

THANKS BRYN! YOU ROCK!!!

P.S. - It was a bitter sweet record. So happy to have recorded the last ep. So sad to say good-bye to all the amazing actors. You made us laugh, you made us cry. Hope we get a second season.

Ep 26 HERE, US ROCK!

Big thanks to the hilarious Mike Kiss and his writing team for keeping us all in stitches this season. And to Merle Anne Ridley, our brilliant voice director for her keen ear and friendly demeanour.
