DIno Park Ad & Creative

Often in my role as a storyboard artist I can work on a project and never hear of it again – projects get cancelled, clients decide to use another concept – many reasons.

But I thought I’d show an advert by one of my clients, NeamTV, for the VTech playset “Toot Toot Friends.” It’s got my dabs all over it.

First of all, I was hired to create the back drop of the set. Here’s a few images from the set of my artwork, printed IRL at huge size.

In addition, I was asked to storyboard this advert:

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.

Minecon film

A quick excerpt from dozens and dozens of storyboards I put together for the third and final part of the “Minecon” film that featured as part of the convention. Featuring the adventures of the hapless Tim and his (and my) introduction into the world of Minecraft with the team at Element Animation.

Here’s the final animation:
