Vodafone "Big Data & AI" Storyboards

Now and again you end up on projects that are last minute and inevitably change as it develops, so the boards tend to not be exactly what's depicted in the end. This was kinda one such project I worked on with Mr. White – the Vodafone "Big Data and AI" brand film.

Nevertheless, you can still see the overall theme and narrative held shape.

Mitsubishi Motors Outlander PHEV storyboards

This is a bit of a throwback to when I storyboarded this Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV ad for Borish out in the Nederlands. Was a fun little project and was the first time I think I did commercial storyboards for companies outside the UK.

And this was at the height of the Hybrid car, so even that tidbit lets you know how big this moment was in the automotive industry.


Check it out, did a side-by-side comparison:

Oil and gas prices are enough to give any driver nightmares ⛽️📈. So the rise of the electric car couldn’t have come at a better time. Storyboarded this in 2014 for @mitsubishimotorsofficial in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 via the great guys at Borish. ⚡️🔋🚙 . . bluntspear.com . . #mitsubishi #storyboards #storyboard #londonstoryboard #londonstoryboards #londonstoryboardartist #storyboardartist #storyboarding #mitsubishimotors #dulaniwilson #dulaniwilsonstoryboards #electriccar #storyart #storyartist

"We Are Aperol People" Storyboards🍹 (starring my favourite colour)

Orange is such a bright and optimistic colour. Having that said, this ad I storyboarded for Aperol is full of it.

"We Are Aperol People" brand film used the signature colour of their liquor and infused it with the over brands theme of spontaneity, vibrancy, and youthfulness. It was a nice little project and was glad to be their in the pre-production stage.

Even Aperol Deutschland showed us some love.

Braulio Brand Film Storyboards 🥃

Hey, check it out superfriends! I remember storyboarding this a while back, first times using Storyboard Pro. Literal game changer. Saved me so much time versus my Storyboard template. This is not an ad. Unless they'd like to pay me. Wink wink. Toon Boom, make it so. It was a Braulio brand film, shot in Italy. Good stuff.

Check it out, made a IG side-by-side video:

It’s always interesting to see how different a project turns out from it’s original concept. However you still can spot the general concept and flow remain the same. I’ve also realised I’ve worked on a lot of liquor ads 🥃 🇮🇹 . . www.bluntspear.com . . #italianliquor #bormiovaltellina #bormio #italy #storyboards #storyboard #londonstoryboardartist #londonstoryboard #londonstoryboards #dulaniwilson

#SixFanArts Challenge Number 3: Crocodile Dundee 🐊, He-Man⚔️, B.A. Baracus 💪🏿, Hulk 👊, Wonder Woman 🦸‍♀️ and Danger Mouse 🐁

This one was for the great Jamie, worked with him a few times back in the Hangar Seven days. Real joker. He was game and gave me his suggestions for the next bout of Six Fan Arts challenge.

The usual suspects that made the lineup, in this case, was Crocodile Dundee, He-Man, B.A. Baracus, Hulk, Wonder Woman and Danger Mouse. The end result was pretty decent I guess. While the very first challenge I did everything under 1 hour, here I kept each individual image under an hour.

Check it out:

#SixFanArts Numero Dos: "Sailor Moon" 🌙 V "Thundercats" 🐈

Had another go at the #SixFanArts Challenge, this time for my girl Danielle, and her request was the whole Sailor Moon squad and a member of the Thundercats. Opted for Cheetara and the rest is proverbial history.

Ain't gonna lie, back in the days of Toonami, Sailor Moon was just the thing that came on before DBZ, but in retrospect, their transformations are a thing of legend.

JFOODO's "Sake: Escape The Ordinary" Storyboards 🍶

So, I had a lot of things on the agenda today. Much of which was abandoned and so I only did one thing. Animation. Possibly a venture. But will see how I feel about it next week. So the rest of my day pretty much watching Clone Wars and think Ahsoka is such a dope character and how Lucasfilm can get this right but not the trilogy. Character growth, for Christ sakes.

And talking about 'sake', this went live yesterday – my work on JFOODO's "Sake: Escape The Ordinary" campaign. Did you like my segue? And as a guy that only had sake when he went to a noodle bar in Central London, it went down a treat. However, thinking of a drink like that but in a more 'contemporary' sense of being enjoyed with, let's say seafood that isn't necessarily Japanese was never something I thought about doing until now. Nobody puts baby in a box.

Done via Mr. White, I storyboarded the brand film which turned out pretty decent. I think a toast or three is in order. Kanpai!

Check out the video on my IG page:

JFOODO recently led a campaign to present sake in a new light.

"KFC T&T Carnival 2016" Storyboards 🍗🇹🇹

It's been a bit of a stroll down memory lane only to realise I've been doing storyboards for a whooole lot of brands, Lots of projects. Quite humbling actually for a freelancer who's never worked for a salary. Day to day baby.

This little project as well reminded me never to agree or compromise your parameters when working on a project. It's just not worth, even with the bills looming.  I can't tell you what those parameters are for you, but you'll know. For me, it was doing well over 20 boards with colour and revisions covered by one nominal fee.

In any case, check it out. I storyboarded this ad for KFC that played in Trinidad And Tobago during Carnival back in 2016.
