Jacob Strick Email & Phone Number

Joined a development project as a writer and board artist, collaborated with producers and other board artists to create several comedic board sequences for series pitch.

Burbank, California

For over two seasons I worked with the storyboard teams, animatic editor and the supervising animation director on each episode as it moved from an original concept all the way to shipping it to our overseas animation studios. On the technical side regularly I exported boards as XML from Storyboard Pro to Premiere and later conformed them for the board.

I sold and developed an original animated musical film. Over the course of the development I wrote the story outline, pitch bible and several original songs.

Greater Los Angeles Area

I worked as a sales associate in a Retro Japanese Import Game Store. The role required Japanese reading/speaking skills, an encyclopedic knowledge of the entire history of home gaming, minor electrical engineering (to swap out the batteries from a Pokémon cartridge, for example), and the ability to reliably input hadoukens to test the refurbished.

Los Angeles

I gave script feedback to the writers in addition to subbing in as a writers assistant and script coordinator. While I can't officially say that I made a contribution to the story but I may have suggested a subplot to help develop a character's backstory which lead to a very expensive effect which I'm happy to say made final cut.

Los Angeles

I assisted the writers and showrunner in day-to-day tasks and managed the petty cash and meals. I additionally got to write fake news articles for an in-universe newspaper prop which I personally made sure would be as historically accurate as an alternate history show could allow.

Greater Los Angeles Area

I was Key Production Assistant on Roger Corman’s Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader in 3D. Assisted in all departments of production working directly under the 1st and 2nd Assistant Directors. Was responsible for driving talent, craft services, and wrangling walkie-talkies. A highlight of the production was getting to sing along to "Young Americans" while.

Culver City

Executive Intern at Phoenix Pictures. Wrote coverage for producers Mike Medavoy, Brad Fischer, and Edward McGurn. Worked at the front desk and was responsible for phone duties as well as assisting clients. Trained new interns to be responsible for these duties.

Motion Capture Stagehand and Post-Production Data Transcriber at Jim Henson Studios on CGI series, “Sid The Science Kid.” Additionally spent time as an assistant in the Creature Shop.

Quality Assurance on Cyan Worlds’ “Cosmic Osmo’s Hex Isle.” I gave feedback to President Tony Fryman on ways to improve the game.

Intern at Nickelodeon on CGI Nicktoon series, “Tak and the Power of Juju” Worked closely with the writers and participated in development meetings and ADR sessions.
