The Art of Brandon Jeffords

I'm a storyboard artist at Sony Pictures animation. I'll be posting mostly my personal work here.

My next adventure was finally announced: Bye Bye Bunny!Getting to work with some amazingly talented people on this one! Not to mention, paying homage to a beloved cast of characters and Broadway music! https://deadline.com/2022/06/bye-bye-bunny-a-looney-tunes-musical-hbo-max-cartoon-network-1235045384/amp/_________________________ #bugsbunny #looneytunes #warnerbros #discovery #animation #musical #byebyebunny #cartoonnetwork #hbomax #brandonjeffords #broadway #tomkitt #arieldumas https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2zI4bO7Aj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In anticipation of Vivo’s release I thought I’d do a little fan art. I hope to post more of these as the movie gets closer to coming out! ___ #vivo #sony #sonyentertainment #linmanuelmiranda #animation #animatedmusical #sonypictures #linmanueal #childrensentertainment #brandonjeffords #art #directorialdebut #cuba #cuban #cubanmusic #instagram #meme #miami #netflixmovies #netflix #sonyanimation https://www.instagram.com/p/COXACOnjcZE/?igshid=1tpv59ht4xvur

Here’s the very first teaser trailer for Vivo! It’s short but I guess that’s why they call it a “teaser”. Hard to contain my excitement! ___ #vivo #sony #sonyentertainment #linmanuelmiranda #animation #animatedmusical #sonypictures #linmanueal #childrensentertainment #brandonjeffords #art #directorialdebut #cuba #cuban #cubanmusic #instagram #meme #miami #reggaeton #netflix https://www.instagram.com/p/COLndujjEMs/?igshid=zbxrcovm8age

After 3 1/2 years and a global pandemic I can finally announce the release of our movie! Yay! For those that haven’t heard, I’ve been co-directing a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical at Sony Pictures Animation and it will soon be released on Netflix! (No release date announced yet)

One of the bonuses of working in an art form that takes years to complete is that you often make lifelong friends with your crew. Kelly Asbury was my director on my last film. I’ve only known him for a little over 5 years but we worked together closely for four of them and he changed my life. The first time we met, I turned down the offer to work on the film. I’m so glad I changed my mind. As Kelly would say, sometimes it’s not about the film, but the people you work with. Everyone that knew him will tell you that he was hilarious, talented, and such a joy to work with. His resume and lifelong body of work speaks for itself! However I wanted to let the world know about the legacy of generosity he leaves behind. I was only his Head of Story on Smurfs but he treated me like his codirector. He would put me in one edit bay with an editor while he sat in another and we would each edit scenes separately then come together to look at each other’s work. When we recorded talent, no matter the actor, he would ask me to direct them if I knew the scene better. It was never said out loud but he was grooming me to direct. In all my years in this industry, I’ve never had a mentor like him. Honestly, they don’t make ‘em like Kelly anymore. His pursuit of the best ideas, coupled with his desire to empower the next generation of talent, make him an irreplaceable treasure. I can only hope to pass on a sliver of his great legacy. Thank you, my friend. I’ll never forget what you gave to me! Some of my most memorable moments of my career are in story rooms with you! I will miss you dearly! https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8lA31DzZy/?igshid=1onutmmq8kjlf

It was so cool to see my designs broadcast on The View yesterday! This is a boardgame, storybook, and plush that I did the artwork for. It teaches kids to improve their emotional intelligence. The creator, Sofia Dickens, did such a fantastic job presenting it! :) #eqtainment #sofiadickens #qsracetothetop #brandonjeffords #boardgame #plush #coloringbook #emotionalintelligence
