Welcome Back, Dave

Dave Thomas

After spending a few years and 26 half-hours in Miracle City, Dave Thomas has returned to The Fairly OddParents fold as the show’s Storyboard Director. He’s a big part of the show’s history, too – way back in 2003, Dave won an Annie Award for his boarding of the episode, “Pipe Down”. Yesterday, to kick off yet another production season of FOP, he presented the show’s first-ever digital pitch.*

It’s great to have you back, Dave.

*In the old days, an old-fashioned paper storyboard would be pinned up and presented to the crew and the network. Now, even though the paper board still gets pinned up, every panel is scanned in and projected on the big screen, just short of an animatic.
