In addition to his work on films, Krentz has contributed his character design expertise to television shows such as the Discovery Channel's four-part nature documentary Dinosaur Revolution and its feature film version, Dinotasia, which was created from unused sequences of the show. Krentz was also the co-director and art director for both of these productions. He has worked as a writer and storyboard artist for the Adult Swim animated production Primal. For his work as a storyboard artist on the episode "Plague of Madness", he has won two Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation. For the same episode, he was also listed as a recipient of the award for Outstanding Animated Program.
His 3D modelling of dinosaurs was preceded by his paleoart, in which he has an avocational interest in sculpting dinosaurs.
