Colin Jack is currently a co-director at Dreamworks Animation, and has storyboarded on everything from Ed, Edd n Eddy, Captain Underpants, Puss in Boots, The Croods, Boss Baby as well as more recently been Head of Story on Trolls Band Together.

As we siphoned through a list of potential candidate works to talk about, he quickly decided on Fantastic Mr. Fox, the 2009 debut animation from visionary director Wes Anderson. I was so excited ot get to share a discussion about his work with Colin.
These are a few of the things we talked about:
- Moving from Live Action to Storyboarding
- The themes of Fatherhood in the movie, reflected in Colin’s Life
- The design choice of Fantastic Mr. Fox as it doesn’t resemble the visual style of Quentin Blake.
& so much more!
I’m really excited to hear your thoughts after listening to us ramble on!
