Ad agency Pyper, Paul & Kelly (PPK) has long had the Florida Lottery account and we have provided their boards for years. Our story artist, Mike Conrad, is their favorite, and constantly turns out these amazing storyboards for them. These are agency pitch boards which will be narrowed down to one or two concepts for production.
Agency Pyper, Paul and Kenney uses us for the pitch boards all the time. These pitch boards showcased a number of vignettes. Each line was a separate sequence. Boards by Mike Conrad.
Aidan has many talents beyond animation and comic books, he also draws amazing live-action productions as well. This was for a series of healthcare ads.
Thunderbolt Boomerang is a pilot that Aidan boarded. The previz and animatic were produced long-distance, like many of our projects. Company founder, Mark Simon, co-wrote the script and did the final edit on the animatic.
Aidan Casserly storyboarded on Chop Chop Ninja for 2 seasons. The huge cartoony action was perfect for his talent, and he edited the animatics as well.
The Talking Tom production was based in Eastern Europe. Aidan works out of Los Angeles. Using our Storyboard Pro and Skype combo he was able to work directly with each director as if they were sitting in the same room.
Aidan Casserly has the ability to add lots of great visual humor and action to his boards. Many visual gags were his addition to this script. Studio owner Mark Simon wrote the script and edited the animatic.
Stanley and Moofa was created by Lisa M. Horn. The pilot was written by Lisa with Mark Simon and A. Wayne Carter. Mark directed the pilot and oversaw the boards by our Aidan Casserly.
Lisa is another client who loves to work with us long distance using our Skype/Storyboard Pro software combo. She gets to work with the best without any of the time or expense of travel normally needed to work with out-of-town story artists.
Lisa also loved having the animatic for her pitches. Here’s her response:
“WOW! I never knew how much more attention I would get using an animatic when pitching networks and production companies. For the last few years, I’ve gone to Kidscreen with treatments and printed visuals but it wasn’t enough for execs to see what I was really talking about! Using an animatic, they could really see the pace and timing used with the characters. It also showed the relationships between the characters. Execs loved watching my animatic! They were able to understand the humor I was trying to convey that wasn’t getting to them through paper. Thanks, Mark for helping me put my visions into video! Watching my characters come alive is so exciting!”
