EPISODE DEEP DIVE: "THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!" Part Two

When last I wrote, I was doing a deep dive into our fifth season episode of Johnny Bravo, “That’s Entertainment!” For those of you tracking my progression, we’re still in the Python-esque world created by Bunny Bravo (Johnny’s Mama), but now, we’re showcasing the storyboard process!

This particular episode was storyboarded by the multi-talented, Emmy Award winning, Vaughn Tada. He had to hop back and forth between four different styles and he did it with amazing adaptability and seamless ease. You’ll notice that it was done with pencil on paper utilizing Post-It Note Pads and tape. He even had to cut and tape the script to attach the dialogue and stage direction to the storyboard! Because the schedule was so rigid, Vaughn had to flip back and forth between designing the layouts and/or having the luxury of using ones that were already produced.

These attachments show the development and use of Vaughn's storyboard (which he produced first) and this particular layout (Jerry Eisenberg's design) within the context of the story.

Not to cut this post short, but thus ends our deep dive into Mama’s story. Plus, I don’t want to oversaturate your curiosity by bombarding you with too much artwork. So, feel free to soak in these beautiful pieces of art, in anticipation of my next post talking about Donny Osmond’s story! In a completely different style!
