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.

Check out the side-by-side storyboard comparison below:

Sum up,

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

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.

Can we get 2021 started?

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

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

Mondoro "Beautiful Elevation" Storyboards 🥂🍾

Technically, I've been just a little less busy than usual, though most of my busy has been a 'paid' busy. Now quarantine has people thinking they can approach me like its Credit Crunch / 2009 again. Not cool, bro. My family also eats food that requires money. Who'd have thunk?

In any case, I did forget to flog this up on me blogs. I did another one of those storyboards/ad comparisons. This one I did for Mondoro via Mr. White. So if you like your sparkling wine and Italian architecture, then you should get a kick out of this brand film.

Check it out:

Sum up,
A toast is most certainly needed.

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:

Heading out to Finsbury to get my hair done. I'm that guy now. Stalk me why don't you.

Pyramid Scheming

Had a bit of a storyboard gig for a rum brand and whilst, obviously, it's a work in progress, thought I'd share this unused frame.

Definitely want to visit Guatemala and the pyramids one day. Heard a lot of 'this is Sparta', Kano-heart-stealing ish went on with those high priests.

Anywho, check it, little sketchy scampy scamp:

Sum up.

The steps to my monastery are steep...

MMXIX: The Showreels

www.bluntspear.com

I have truly neglected this blog, haven't I? Well, to shoot myself some bail, TheActionPixel.com is a relentless, unforgiving beast. That and adulting. Boy, did my parents not warn me about adulting. But hey, now that we got the weak excuses out of the way, thought I'd share what I've been up to last. And well that was editing my showreel. Showreels, in fact.

I decided to go on a bit of a revamp workwise and needed to update my showreel, for storyboard and motion graphics. And it's a doozy. Compared to my 2009 showreel. Oh the difference a decade makes.

Check them out below:

Let me know what you think?! Sum up, Almost forgot the format for this blog. But hey, let's see how I get on with this thing.

Johnnie Walker "Godfather" Storyboards

godfather storyboard frame dulani wilson bluntspear.com johnnie walker

Hey people. Recent storyboards I did for a promo vid for Johnnie Walker. How to mix a Godfather drink 🍹. Real easy if you have like three hands. Also did other versions (Old Fashioned I believe). Via Hangar Seven.

Check out the end result. Pretty suave.

Sum up,

TAP. S&B. Nothing has changed except I'm finally back in that scriptwriting groove.

Order's up Storyboard frames

Did some story art a while back for a pitch on a food ad. Can't remember the brand. But it didn't get the go ahead with the director. But thought I'd share a few of the frames anyway.

Check it:

It's always a challenge to work as fast as possible but to keep an image's form and make it look interesting. Something that gets difficult especially if you weigh yourself down by thinking how much you have to get through and changes are being made repeatedly. But it helps to do scamps and get stuff signed off on just so everyone's on the right page.

Lesson for you boarders. Scamps my seem like extra drawing, but it'll make your work so much easier as you've broken the complexity of structure down without dedicating to much time in details.

What do you guys think of the images. Let me know in the comment section.

Sum up,

You're all cordially invited when the hard drive comes. I'm pissed off as it is, but I'll hold my tongue.

Ground control to Major Tom...

It's been a busy few weeks storyboarding a few projects for a few people/production houses.

Thought I'd share an unused frame from one of 'em

Check it out, soccer fans!

I think it's a satellite still orbiting earth hailing from that penalty shot David Beckham took at Euro all those years ago.

Sum up,

You can't burn bridges and then expect to cross them.

The Disappeared storyboards

Did some quick boards a while back for a short film for Guy Logan about a story surrounding 'The Troubles' back when Ireland was 'bout it bout it' aka 'bout that life'. Hence the title The Disappeared

Check it out:

I am sad to say I actually just caught on to how awesome CW's Arrow is. Lots of lost time to make up for.

Pre-Viz Storyboards: Missing Planes, Scientists and Kidnappings

Hey peoples! How goes you. Thought I would quickly share some boards I did for a friend Stil Williams who's currently over at MPC. He needed them for a more pre-viz exercise and thought I'd lend a hand. So if you like clandestine lairs, shady organised crime and conspiracies and high profiled kidnappings then this definitely for you:

All in a days work. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Sum up,

So... much work. Doing some boards for blueprint.tv plus a series to launch on the BBC. And my sisters site... it's like being in the trenches with half a banana clip and no air support in the foreseeable future

Draft Boards for a Mining Company's website

For now, thought I'd share a frame from the draft boards I did for UI interface for a mining company in Sierra Leone:

Look into thyself. Or just read this blog. Proven to be more insightful than anything ever. Seriously. Currently sending my recently completed short off to the numerous festivals in the UK and overseas, Merchants of Quietus (www.fb.com/MerchantsOfQuietus). Trying to keep busy friend. But you can check out some story art I did for a promo for Channel 4. Ramadan. Deep (er).
