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.

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

Sum up,

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?

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:

"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.
