Designs for the Mega-Rig Pitch

This was a series of storyboards, collaged with photos from a digital camera. The product is a toy called a "Mega-Rig"; the pitch was for a game based on the toy. Here is the 'splash' (title) image for that product.
"There's a prison break, and the police run to the Mega-Rig to capture the criminal."
"The criminal is on the run! Pursue and track him with the Mega Copter."
"The Mega-Rig pulls up to the criminal's hideout."
"Customize the mini-chopper with the tools you'll need to capture the prisoner."
"Success! The criminal is captured and the Mega-Rig flies back to the prisonyard, prisoner safely in the gaol."

Designs for the Micro-Machines Pitches

"Use coupons downloaded from the site to earn discounts on real toys."
"Trade your virtual Micro Machines with other collectors."
"Buy, sell and swap Micro-Machines cars online."
I forget what exactly the premise was for this series. I guess just to show various vehicles in their proper environments. I enjoyed painting the backgrounds in Photoshop."
