  • Dan worked with us on Planet Cosmo, storyboarding a large chunk of the episodes. Dan boarded our original pilot so was part of the creation of the show, helping to define the feel. Throughout the production, Dan delivered consistently and on time and was able to work through notes to get us what we needed, leading to a great final product.
