STORYBOARDS



films | tv series | video games | advertising



YOU NEED STORYBOARDS.





Filmmakers, designers and agencies need clear and evocative storyboards to help them make their films, shows, games or commercials. These pre-production drawing are a visual guide for the production, and a tool for resolving a ton of potential challenges with tone, pacing, perspective, logic, blocking, budget, VFX, set design, etc. Storyboards are invaluable, and they invariably save the production money. By letting the directors, production designers, VFX coordinators and film editors see the film before it's made, they can plan thoroughly, scrap unnecessary setups, eliminate guesswork, and discover all kinds of efficiencies.



.I GIVE YOU STORYBOARDS





That's what I do. I make storyboards. These can be detailed and expressive keyframes, or a clear and comprehensive set of production boards, or even a set of rough thumbnail sketches that finally let you see (and revise) the ideas they had floating in your head. I have a keen understanding of film language, which, when combined with my background in design, help me solve the trickiest of storytelling problems. And that collaborative journey, sitting down with you to turn your screenplay into a dynamic production blueprint, is what keeps me pumped.
