Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure

This is me in front of 5 or 6 beatboards I created for Lasetter to approve for the second film to be green lit.



These props are for the "Magical Guide" that acts as the Bible of sorts for the Fairy world. These were a few of the many concepts I did to represent the Magical Guide that slowly but surely depicted the importance of the 4 seasons and how detrimental they are to the Fairy World.

THIS is Halloween . . . Halloween!

HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY!!!!!
