The mouse guys' Advertising Creative
Tower of Terror commercial

Storyboards by Mark Simon


storyboard artist Mark Simon, Animatics and Storyboards,Disney, Tower of Terror

When the mouse guys redesigned the drops in the Tower of Terror theme park attraction, they wanted to get across the extra terror involved. Mark Simon was brought in to storyboard the commercial and was asked to also design the character's boots and outfits. Under their direction, the tall man was modeled after John Malkovich and the short one was modeled after Joe Pesci. In order to give the commercial the proper dark and moody look, they hired the DP (director of photography) from Batman to shoot the spot.

The mouse guy's website also needed to promote the attraction. We created the Flash animation images for their site. One of our artists, Alex Saviuk of Spiderman fame, did the pencil work using these images as reference. Mark Simon did the inking. Click here to see the Flash animation. We won two Addy Awards for our work on it. Storyboards and all characters copyright 1999, the mouse guys. All rights reserved.
