For a pitch, on behalf of production company Bright Giant, key frames to illustrate the visual style and basic thread for an anti-drug abuse video.
Client: Sharwoods. Director: Helen Simpson. Agency: Independent Films. Storyboards for Sharwoods’ latest products for 2009
Client: Orange Director: Pes. Agency: Independent Films. Pes is a great animation (& live-action) director & all round good chap. The socks in this ad (done about two years ago, I just found the storyboards by chance) were stop-motion animated using wireframes under real socks.
Client: Schwarzkopf. Director: Jake Nava. Agency: Cherry Films. One of the few colour storyboards I get to do. Samples here from one of two Schwarzkopf ads starring Heidi Klum. Making the character look exactly like Klum was not part of the brief at the time.
I’ve done storyboards for a number of TV commercials for the global market, as well as some music videos, mostly working for agencies like Independent & FM Rocks over the last 5 years. I’m based in London & can work in-house or remotely via internet broadband, so turnaround can be quick.
Selection of my favourite individual frames from various storyboards over the last 5 years. I’m often called in to amend existing storyboards for commercials, or just to do some concept illustrations like this.
Preloaded “Taggers” Pitch to BBC
As part of a pitch to the BBC for an online animation series called “Taggers”. Those fantastic Shoreditch creatives,”Preloaded”, were leading the job. I did these character, background & concept designs, starting as always on paper & finishing all artwork in Flash.
Some roughs…
Background inks & finishes…
Characters…
Client: HSBC. Director: Jake Nava. Agency: Independent Films. Storyboards for HSBC’s “Everyone looks at the world from a different point of view. What’s your point of view?” campaign. In this commercial we have an exuberant Brazilian tour guide, throwing his all into celebrating the world-famous “Maracana” stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Client: Cambio Mutuo BNL (Italian Bank). Director: Luke Forsythe. Agency: Independent Films & The Family SRL. Storyboards for an Italian bank’s mortgage services, just as the credit was beginning to crunch.
Client: Del Monte (fruit juices). Director: Erik Van Wyk. Agency: Independent Films. Erik gave me my first break in storyboards. I had no examples to show but he just liked my drawing style. We did loads of ads together.
A selection of boards for Director Jake Nava, one of the best in the business, working for Jake is never dull.
Client: Rimmel. Director: Jake Nava. Storyboards for Rimmel ads starring Kate Moss.
Client: Nathalie Imbruglia. Director: Jake Nava. Music promo storyboards for Imbruglia’s ”Shiver” single.
