Specific shot direction from the client but with loads of scope for visual development, this project was a mixture of 3D and 2D with hand-drawn textures.

“Benny and the Jets” Storyboards and Animatic

Benny & the Jets

Music Video Concept

`This project involved creating concept visuals and storyboards for a pitch supporting a reissue of Elton John’s Bennie and the Jets. The treatment imagined a 1950s dive bar setting disrupted by the sudden arrival of futuristic women, blending retro Americana with playful B-movie science fiction influences.

The work included a series of keyframes, character concepts, and storyboard sequences, along with animatics to help visualise pacing and mood for the pitch presentation.

…and here’s the final pitch film – featuring my storyboards and animated sections.
