Today we're introducing a new section to the list; Advertising Animatics. My lists are agent-free for easier access to the talent (save for a few of the Award-Hungry Photographers), but I've always believed that bigger jobs require a full team of people. So I'm pleased to say that Storieboards have come aboard as our first Animatic House. Read on to learn more about them and how this will improve the list.
I was very confused during my first animatic job at advertising agency DDB. My producer kept telling me we would use "storyboards" to create the animatics. On a certain level it made sense to me; animatics are basically animated storyboard frames. But I wanted to know WHO was making the boards. It finally made sense when I visited the website my producer gave me. The animatic house we were to use was named 'Storieboards' after its founder, James Storie.

The story of Storieboards
James started Storieboards in 2004 with a very select team, 75% of whom are still part of the fun ten years on. Storieboards describe themselves as manoeverable, responsive and cost-effective.
"We pride ourselves on a decade free of a serious sense-of-humour failure! Lead by Trae Bregg, the Storieboards team produce consistently awesome work for our clients, on-time, on-budget and with a certain ‘somethin-somethin’ that keeps our clients returning year after year." - James Storie
Storieboards certainly know how to keep clients. Their roster include everyone from Anderson DDB to Zulu Alpha Kilo. See a larger client list on their profile on Jorgen's List. Though know this; it is far from complete. Ten years in the business means they've worked on every client and brand imaginable.
The Storieboards Team: Claire, James, Trae, Geoff, Kun-Sung, Bryce
So what does this mean for the list?
Thanks to Storieboards support, we now have the ability to showcase animatics on the site! As a sign of gratitude, Storieboards will be the exclusive member of the section they funded until May 17th, 2015. On that date the section opens up for other animatic creators. So if you're an animatic house or a single freelancer; Thanks to Storieboards you'll have a new way to showcase your work!
Shoot me an email at jorgenslist at gmail dot com if you'd like to be featured there.
Normally I'd include a large host of videos here, but instead I recommend you go to Storieboards profile on Jorgen's List and watch their latest videos! Enjoy!
And if you were unsure: Storieboards is repped by Hestyreps. I'm not a rep or an agent; just an Art Director and client who find it too hard to screen through rep sites for the right talent. So like any talent on my list; if you wish to work with them; just send them an email or make a call. No need to involve me.
