Metrocity is Mine! (MegaMind) 2009

My intention in the next few posts is to put up some MM boards. There's a lot of stuff to sort through however, about 18 months worth, so bear with me. These are a few panels from a sequence called Metro City is Mine. MegaMind is marching to City Hall to take control after the demise of his rival, Metro Man. The guitar riff from AC/DC's Highway to Hell plays as he dances down the street.
































You might notice that the last 2 panels are in a different format. They are from an early pass that was done prior to the decision to go wide screen.

  6. It's nice to see the specific dance moves worked out in boards... I haven't seen the film yet (deadlines abound this month) but get a great sense of the movement of the character from these.
