Storyboard Artist Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply storyboard artists for Dutch shoots across features, drama, commercials and animation. Our artists translate the script and the director's intent into shot-by-shot panels, delivering classic boards, digital storyboards and full animatics with timing and sound. They work closely with the director and director of photography to plan coverage, blocking and camera movement before the shoot. This tightens scheduling and controls cost on set. They adapt their output to whatever pipeline a production runs. Work to budget within the CAO collective-labour-agreement framework. Because Dutch crews are near-universally English-speaking, a global director can brief a Dutch storyboard artist directly and review panels without a language barrier.

Here is the short of it. The Netherlands has a deep visual-arts culture that feeds the storyboard discipline. The country's drawing and design custom runs from the draughtsmanship of the Golden Age masters through to the structured graphic sensibility of De Stijl and today's Dutch Design, centred on Eindhoven. Dutch animation has real global standing. Michaël Dudok de Wit won the Best Animated Short Oscar for 'Father and Daughter' and earned a Best Animated Feature nomination for 'The Red Turtle' — which sustains a community of artists fluent in order, frame-by-frame visual storytelling.

The Rotterdam design schools, the Willem de Kooning Academy and St. Joost, train illustrators and visual-development artists. We match the storyboard artist to your project's style and pipeline. Brief them on the director's vision so the boards genuinely serve the shoot.
