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:

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

"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.

If you’re from the #Caribbean you know #carnival is the one of the greatest tourist events that takes place around #Easter season. I #Storyboarded this @kfc ad a few years ago that played in Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹. This one was a bit of a learning curve in terms of me just setting parameters and sticking to them. Great, fun project #FreelancerLife 🍗 . . www.bluntspear.com . . #kfc #chicken #carnival #kfctt #fastfood #baccanal #soca #socamusic #trinidadcarnival #kentuckyfriedchicken #sogood #storyboards #storyartist #storyboard #storyboardartist #storyboardart #storyart #londonstoryboards #londonstoryboardartist #londonstoryboard #dulaniwilson #bluntspear #trinidadandtobago

Sum Up,
Hey, I'm trying to keep up with the blog, don't judge me...

Assembly for Dummies ⛺

2020 has been a slow burner. Understandably, creative types oft get this at the beginning of the year. Everyone is just about now starting to perform at optimum efficiency, getting on top of lingering projects, chasing leads and answering emails.

So a few projects, mainly in the ad department. So thought I'd share a random unused frame. What ever could they be attempting to build? A source of clean energy? Skynet? An ergonomic enema machine? Are the instructions in German?

Check out the storyboard frame:
