neb lane pictures
is an independent studio in Pasadena, California, offering storyboard and sketch visualization services for feature film, commercials and other media.
Our creative team is led by Carlos Lutterbach, an industry veteran with two decades of experience working for major studios, including Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures and Aarman Animations as story artist, 2d animator, and animation supervisor. Carlos brings a unique perspective to storyboards, combining strong acting skills and comprehensive cinematographic visualization. His experience extends into live action and animation, having worked with established franchises, from Ghostbusters to Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons and the Simpsons, adapting to different directorial styles and production demands.
Alongside storyboards Neb Lane Pictures also offers Sketch Visualization services. Sketch Vis is the art of drawing characters on pre-generated footage. This is a process used to quickly generate performances that benefit from the liveliness of the drawings, giving characters expression and emotion impossible to achieve with placeholder 3D images. This offers a cost-effective way to direct characters in drawing form before 3D animation takes place, saving time and money, while giving the director closer control of performances.
Neb Lane Pictures has a number of in-house projects being developed independently and with partners. Stay tuned for announcements!
