Sammy storyboard sample

If you have any longevity in the animation industry, it is not uncommon that you will work on some projects that are failures.

One such (out of many) that I worked on was Sammy, based on the humor of David Spade, inspired by his relationship with his own father.

Despite having a great production crew, the resulting product was deemed extremely bad by the test audiences. Only two episodes out of thirteen were ever broadcast before it was pulled by NBC. Ultimately, a skilled production team cannot turn mediocre scripts and unlikeable characters into a good series.
