In 2011 I storyboarded a short film for Si&Ad, who are a directing duo I regularly work with.  Actually it was the first thing I did for them.  The film’s not on release yet, but it’s been selected/awarded at several film festivals, which is pretty awesome.  I can’t put all the frames up yet but here are a few that back up what’s in the trailer (on youtube here).  It was filmed in Jaywick, a caravan park on the Essex coast that over the years became a full-time settlement.  But the caravans weren’t designed for such prolonged use and the place has become very run-down and desolate.  I love the film/town’s spaciousness, I got quite immersed in the atmosphere storyboarding it.  You can see another couple of pages here.

A storyboard for a pitch for the Kurio tablet, which is aimed at kids.  You can see the rest of the storyboard here.

Some headshots for a pitch for Anthony Nolan, the bone marrow register.  On this occasion I got hold of the presentation afterwards, I’ve added a page underneath.  You can see the rest here.  Sign up to Anthony Nolan!

A storyboard for Si&Ad at Academy, for Vaseline Spray and Go body moisturiser.  It’s nice, they wanted to show that you can use the spray and put your clothes on straight afterwards and to that end hired a dancer to dress really quickly, with no special effects.  I think it’s just on US TV at the moment.  They didn’t need me to storyboard the woman dressing, but instead wanted to put together a few other images for the rest of the scene. In the end I don’t think they used any of the shower shots!

Here are a couple of pages from my storyboard for this year’s Morrisons Christmas ad, directed by Si&Ad at Academy. You can see the other pages here, and the ad’s on youtube here. It’s meant to depict the reality of Christmas, ie that it’s a bit of a stress, but worth it in the end to see your family all happy.

A couple of pages from the storyboard for The Trainline ‘Be Sensible’ ad which is out at the moment.  It was inspired by the scene in Airplane when everyone goes ballistic on hearing the plane is in trouble (can’t remember the reason exactly), but in this case it’s because a guy runs into the carriage announcing you can get your tickets cheaper with The Trainline.  This was a 2.5 day storyboard so there are lots of frames – there are a bunch of 10 second versions as well which I’ll post at a later date.

I’ve put the full storyboard for the 30 second version up here, and the ad’s on youtube here.

Hello.. here are a couple of pages from a storyboard for a recent pitch – I don’t think the agency won it but I was pleased with the storyboard, so here it is!  It’s another one for Rubie’s costume hire, this time for Disney Princess outfits.  You can see the rest of the frames here.

I’ve been super busy with a very fun book illustration project.  But with the exception of a couple more pics at a later date, I’ve finished!  Literally as the sun comes out, perfect timing.  I’ve just been trying out odosketch – I resolved the disaster of my owl’s body with a big posh coat, obviously.

Here’s a recent pitch storyboard for Rubie’s costume hire.

Another A A Milne-themed storyboard.. this one’s for Boing Boing Tigger, a teddy which makes a boinging sound, surprisingly, when you shake it around.
