-The Art of David Tuber-

DIRECTOR

I've directed stop-motion, traditional, and live-action. I like to get heavily involved with the preproduction creative process, focussing especially on tone. Once we get to production, I'm all about finding it together though collaboration. This is key, and ideas are always the answer. I truly love directing; from the endless problems to the even more endless inventive solutions.

DIRECTOR

WRITER

I've always found great satisfaction in writing for television and film. My strengths lean towards comedy writing, sketch comedy, punch-up, etc. However, I also have a knack for finding the heart of a story, character, scene, and presenting it in a natural, unforced way. The stories I enjoy most as an audience and writer are, if I may be so cliche, the ones that make you laugh and make you cry.


*Scripts, sketches, punch-up, and other material available upon request.

WRITER

STORY ARTIST

I've been storyboarding for 18+ years on various animated and live-action television shows, features, commercials, and music videos.  My strengths lean towards comedy, horror, and delivering a lot of heart.  My favorite part of figuring out story is group collaboration.  It's honestly one of my favorite things; to have a nugget of an idea made better by bouncing it off of the others in the room and crafting the story into something entertaining.

About

David Tuber

At the tender age of four, David knew he loved cartoons and wanted to pursue a life in animation. Growing up in the Chicago suburb of Wheeling, IL, he was obsessed with comedy, film, comics, puppets, and all things alike. He would draw constantly with the hopes to someday participate in the industry he adored with the likes of "Ren & Stimpy", "Rocko's Modern Life", "Invader Zim", and "The Nightmare Before Christmas".  All the while developing his comedic sensibilities from comedic titans like Charlie Chaplin, The Marx Bros., "Monty Python's Flying Circus", "The Kids in the Hall", "Exit 57", "Mr. Show", and more. After years of artistic hardship and community involvement, he graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2005 (with a Major in Film & Television; Concentration in Traditional Animation, with Honors.) 

December, 2005, he arrived in Los Angeles and eventually found work at Shadowmachine Films on the hit stop-motion animated show, “Robot Chicken”. Here, he coincidentally befriended his comedy/writer idol, Dino Stamatopoulos, and began working on Dino’s show, “Moral Orel”.  Over time, David was invited to write, direct, and have other involvement on the show.  In 2009, he became a director on Dino's 2nd stop-motion animated show, “Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole”.  When the show wrapped, David made his debut into film; storyboarding on "The LEGO Movie" under the guidance of his longtime friend and director, Chris McKay.  This led to three more Lego films and continued work at Warner Animation Group (WAG). During this time, David sharpened his writing skills by joining the LA-based sketch comedy troupe, “SecondHand Smog”, and other local groups.  He also jumped back into television to work on the widely successful Netflix show, "Bojack Horseman".

He has continued to work in animation, live-action, while maintaining his love of stop-motion and puppetry however possible. Today, David and his wife, Abigail, live whimsically in Vancouver, BC, Canada. They are vigorously pursuing "Hollywood North" to its fullest while embracing the culture, nature, and many other perks within British Columbia.
