@meadmcleanStoryboard Artist with a love of the first reel of a film.
I've been working on indie storyboards for a few years now. I enjoy collaborating with writers and directors to set up the early stages of film and animation projects. It's great when my boards help expand the project and help it go in new and unexpected directions.
I work in Photoshop and have some experience with Storyboard Pro.
MFA in Painting from SCAD granted in 2010.
The course went through basic and advanced storyboarding concepts while working through weekly boarding assignments. Phil has been a great mentor since then. Topics included: thumbnails to finish, screen direction, acting, creating movement with A-B-C shots and parallax, interpreting scripts, shot list development, and more.
This course covered basic storyboard concepts, primarily for animation. The main focus was economy in drawing and character acting with weekly boarding assignments from animation scripts.
I can work within any of the typical pricing structures.
Day Rate: $250.
Per Panel: This can have a wide range, depending on level of finish. $10-40.
Beat Boards: For black and white, $40-80 per panel. For color, $60-100 per panel.
Revisions: For revisions on my boards or other artists' boards, it would fall under the day rate, divided into hours.
Other: We can also structure out plans for different needs. For example: you may want a set of thumbnails for a scene or a whole project. You may want just some key shots or sequences worked out. I'm here to help.
I'm looking for projects with a rich approach to storytelling. I like working on projects that incorporate action and tension to build dramatic moods and tones. I want to collaborate with directors and writers to achieve their vision and tell powerful stories.
