Service introduction

About our storyboard illustration service

Storyboards let you plan shots, pacing and story before production begins.

We work from your script to sketch each shot with framing, movement and notes, from quick roughs to polished presentation boards.

Pre-production

Storyboards that answer questions before the shoot

A storyboard exists to settle arguments early: what the shot actually shows, how long it holds, and whether the idea survives contact with a schedule.

We board from a script or a rough outline, marking framing, camera movement, transitions and timing under each panel. Boards can be delivered as a printable shot sheet for the crew, or as a timed animatic with scratch audio so a client can see the pacing before anything is shot or animated.

  • Framing, camera movement and timing marked per panel
  • Printable shot sheets for crew and client review
  • Timed animatics with scratch audio on request

Typical clients here are production companies, agencies and animation studios in the United States, United Kingdom, UAE and India. Send us your project details and we will reply with questions, an approach and a quote before any work starts.
