SCRIBBLE TALES

Design, storyboards & live drawing

Designed and boarded this four-part series for Sesame Studios.

The shorts were drawn on an actual white board, and captured with a time-lapse camera rig.

Each film was part of a pair of time-lapse illustrated versions of classic fairy tales, each offering a different perspective on the story. We hear from the three little pigs, but also the big (not so bad) wolf. Cinderalla's story is matched with Prince Charming's.
