The saturday action lab

Watch like a fan. Learn like a filmmaker.
Every Saturday on the Action Lab Discord server, Tony screens the scenes that shaped his career as a storyboard artist and filmmaker—and breaks down how they work. Discover the secrets behind staging bold, dynamic action sequences and leave inspired to create your own. The Saturday Action Lab is completely free and happens every Saturday starting January 31, 2026 at 11 a PST.

Tony has partnered with Arcturus Publishing in the U.K. and is currently working on a process book focusing on action sequences and a coloring book titled Fast Cars.

The books will be in stores Summer 2026.

It doesn’t matter whether you're a budding filmmaker or a seasoned storyteller; this course will reveal how big Hollywood blockbuster action scenes are designed. Students will learn to convey mood, tension, and emotion and bring their action narratives to life. Recorded classes are available in addition to a video chat option.

In October 2024, Tony and Spiro Razatos, director of the action sequences for  Fast and Furious, Venom, Skull Island, Captain America and many more, appeared on behalf of Drawing American to discuss the film industry and share their decades of knowledge of what role storyboards play in action film making.
