STORY ARTIST: Mark Simon and Dan Antkowiak – Camel Wars
We had a team of artists working on the historical, yet a bit fanciful, feature Camel Wars. We did a huge amount of research with the director on every aspect of the culture and war. And then we added cool shit to make it an amazing movie. We provided the storyboards, concept art and character designs for the movie. Unfortunately, it was never produced. Boards by Mark Simon and Dan Antkowiak.
STORY ARTIST: Dan Antkowiak – Wish Upon A Unicorn
Wish Upon A Unicorn did not have a huge budget. Our artist Dan Antkowiak worked extremely fast to storyboard all the shots with unicorns. The director and producer needed them to determine which shots used a real horse with a fake horn, a puppet or a CG animal.

STORY ARTIST: Mike Conrad – For An Animatic
These detailed tone boards were drawn by Mike Conrad for an animatic produced by agency Pyper, Paul & Kenney.
STORY ARTIST: Mike Conrad – Zorro
We do a lot of theme park work as well. Our artist Mike Conrad worked on a live theme park show based on Zorro. These boards were designed to capture the excitement of the live show, so they were drawn more like a comic book than TV or film storyboards. Boards by Mike Conrad.
