Fanboy and Chum Chum

Remember fifty-five years ago when Fanboy and Chum Chum won the dance contest at this years Kids’ Choice Awards? Well, here’s the crew behind the win celebrating in Eric’s Nickelodeon office in Burbank this month.

In the back row, that’s creator Eric Robles, board artist/director Eddie Trigueros, art director Chad Woods, and supervising producer Jason Meier. Up front, there’s production coordinators Alan Chow and Danielle Digrado.

Thanks to Juliana Weiss-Roessler for the picture.

Congratulations on a job well done, folks.

A call for season one art requests yielded a couple for more character stuff. The truth is there isn’t that much beyond what we’ve posted already. The exception is with Yo, though (Cristina’s request, by the way).

“Fanboyfriend” Storyboard

SBFBCCPOM has gone and requested we post a pair of storyboards, “Fanboyfriend” and “Fanboy Ahoy.” Here’s Octavio Rodriguez’s board for the former episode, written by Itai Grunfeld. It’s episode #120.

So we’ve gone ahead and posted just about everything from Fanboy and Chum Chum’s first season - 52 eleven-minute cartoons - that we could get our hands on - or so we think. Scripts, storyboards, character and background designs, animatic clips, fan art, color scripts, etc. and so forth. What have we missed? Is there any Fanboyness you’re itching to see that we somehow forgot to blog? We’ve already got tons of stuff from season two lined up, but if you’ve got those season one requests, just holler. (For those of you keeping score, Nickelodeon has thirteen first-season shorts yet to air.)

I mean, really limited. In fact, there’s only one of these and it’s in Eric Robles’s office here at Nick. (I’ll give the Chum Chum and Kyle posters their own posts later.)

The poster was designed and illustrated by the show’s art director, Chad Woods.

Hey, remember the Comic-Con poster the network wouldn’t let us show until after Comic-Con? Well, here it is in all it Frosty Freezy Freeze glory.

Eric Robles and Eddie Trigueros designed the poster. Patrick Krebs and Chad Woods took care of the lighting and color after Michael Franceschi and Jason Meier worked on the CG poses.
