The "Suit & Bone" Short Film Electronic Press Kit is years in the making


The Suit & Bone Short Film I directed has been making its rounds in film festivals since its campaign launch in December 2021m and I am humbled by its reception for the most part. 

Winning WSXA, being nominated for Best Short in quite a few festivals as well as making official selection in a handful of others. Thought I would share the Electronic Press Kit. A nice little insight into what it took to create this short. 

Thank you to all cast and crew that made this film possible. The plotting and scheming continues.

Internet Matters "Digital Safety For Digital Kids" Storyboards

This was on my IG for a while but thought I'd share on here. Storyboards I did for Internet Matters a ways back highlighting the importance of online safety for children.

The ad back in 2015 made its rounds on Disney channels and affiliates. The reason the boards look a bit rough was I was mainly focused on character design for the ad. So much so that a poster image based on these designs even got printed and used in the ad:

So much growth since the way I boarded back then.

Sum up,
New job, who dis?

Starling Bank "Bank Anywhere" Storyboards

Check it out! Storyboards I did for the Starling Bank "Bank Anywhere" ad. It was a little bit of back and forth with this project if I remember correctly. Small stuff like location changes and logistical stuff like swapping coffees for juices, interior/exterior shots etc. 

In the end, we got there. Plus, ended up having to design the magazine spread that was printed and used as a prop in the final ad.

Production via Ekstasy.

It's... it's a lot.

Vodafone 'DreamLab' Storyboards

While I have notably grown to detest those Covid-themed ads... you know the kind. The ones that speak about getting you through this difficult time but they're like selling a new version of shoes or something inconsequential like that. 

Nevertheless, this ad I storyboarded actually goes some ways to combatting the current pandemic, using the power of mobile phones and their network capabilities to create multiple processes and calculations that could lead to scientific breakthroughs, and possibly vaccines and cures. Not just for Covid but Cancer too.

Description reads:

Side-by-side storyboard comparison I did for the Vodafone"Dreamlab" brand film. The Vodafone brand film promoted the power of DreamLab to use the power of our mobile phones to combat Cancer, and more recently Covid-19 by powering and allowing multiple calculations to be made in scientific research. Production: Mr. White.

Check out the video below, which gives a side-by-side storyboard comparison:







Sum up,
Tell me what you said to the other guy. Lol. Have a story to tell about this current project I'm on...

SES Satellites "Engineering Freedom (#5) Storyboards

 This week... well, this January has been a hectic one. As usual, this is never the plan, but it kinda happened like that. In any case, the extra workload helped me put my stamp on things so I guess I can't complain too much.

But, long overdue, I thought I would share a bit of the storyboard I've done for SES Satellites. It was part of the company and brands' campaign to promote their newly-launched fleet of satellites – 03b mPower. The 3D animation series they did used my storyboards to help flesh out the story and narrative flow. And given everything it turned out well.

Let's get'er dun!

Hotels.com "Casa De Cantona" Storyboards

Storyboarded this ad when we came out of the first lockdown and things started opening up again. It was a Hotels.com ad promoting a competition of sorts to watch the UELA Champions Finals with the football legend Eric Catona.

This one was a bit of a tight one, so had to keep things simple and to the point. Great working with Studio Yes and Adam Morley who directed. But let me know what you think:




Sum up,

I needs a 'vacay' vacay. Preferably off-world.

Mitchum "Live The Moment" Storyboards

This project is slightly a bitter-sweet one. As you can probably glean from the music festival themes, most of the storyboards I did for the Mitchum "Live The Moment" was done pre-March 2020. Fun times.

 Nevertheless, the moral of being present in the present still rings true, even if we aren't living it up with friends getting caked with mud and breathing in each other's essences while we dance to the morning light.

But I digress. Check out the storyboard art for the ad! And remember, hygeine's important, even if you are stuck inside.

Sum up,

Can we get 2021 started?
