More storyboards for a medical client

Another series of storyboard frames that was part of the group from the previous post. These were also rendered in the large 8 x 10 size. When doing large frames like these it's best to take reference photos if time allows, which was not the case here.












As I mentioned in the previous post, these large frames were probably shot as an animatic without moving parts. In an animatic the frames are shot on film and can be presented on a TV screen which gives the client a better idea of how the final version will appear. Usually animatics have many moving parts and are quite complex to produce. Normally I would be given at least a full week to produce an animatic. If I remember correctly, these frames had to be finished in a couple of days.

Storyboards for a medical client

Many storyboard assignments can be downright boring as this example is. Not only did I have a tough deadline, the ad agency wanted these frames rendered in a large 8 x 10" size. I'm not sure why, this was possibly an animatic without moving parts. I didn't have the time or I would have normally taken reference photos of the people for frames of this size, which would have helped a great deal.




On this frame they were going to add some white type so they wanted the area darkened quite a bit.










The time restrictions didn't allow me to add too much detail to the frames, you can see that they are rendered quickly and are quite rough.

Storyboards for Volvo

Here are some color copies that I found of a storyboard I produced for Volvo. They were 4 x 5" frames rendered with markers. I don't recall the Art Director or the ad agency, but this was an assignment done sometime in the early 1990's while I was living in New York City.









I liked the Art Director's concept on this board and enjoyed rendering the frames.

The last of the Subaru boards

Here is another Subaru storyboard which was done in the early 1990's. I don't have many examples of work done before the year 2000 as the originals were delivered to the client. In this case I was able to make color copies for my sample book before I took them to the ad agency.




After 2000 I delivered everything over the internet and was able to keep the original renderings, but it looks like I will soon be running out of storyboard material to post. There may be more examples packed away in my garage, I'll have to take a look.

One more Subaru storyboard

Another Subaru commercial that was part of a series I rendered. As usual the frames were interesting and fun to do.






I was able to create some interesting angles and color on these boards. I'm not sure whether they ever went into production or not.

Another Subaru storyboard

The Subaru storyboard assignments were a lot of fun to do. I usually could develop an interesting mood or color scheme. These came in batches with the normal tight deadlines. They were rendered in the 4 x 5" size and went reasonably fast.






I rarely had any corrections on these boards, the Art Directors were very pleased with the renderings.

Storyboards for Subaru

When I lived in New York City I used to do a lot of storyboards for Subaru. I don't remember the name of the ad agency, but one day out of the blue, they folded and closed shop, one great client lost ! This also happened to me in Chicago, I did a lot of work for Lois Chicago and one day without warning, they just closed, another great client lost. This is certainly a crazy business. Here are part of a series of 32 storyboard frames for Subaru done over a weekend.







This was a fun series to render and I will show the other boards in the next three posts.
