Why Birmingham productions need a storyboard artist

Birmingham is home to the BBC's Drama Village, Channel 4's national HQ, the Digbeth creative quarter and a growing roster of advertising agencies serving the Midlands. From West Midlands productions to commercial work for brands across the region, a strong storyboard accelerates approval and protects your budget.

What I deliver for Birmingham clients

Black & white sketches

Fast, loose pencil-and-ink frames. Ideal for early concept exploration when you need to test ideas with the team before committing budget.

Tonal storyboards

Mid-fidelity frames with shading and atmosphere — the sweet spot for client approval and shot-list planning on most Birmingham commercials.

Full-colour renders

High-fidelity colour storyboards for end-of-pitch decks, agency new-business or executive sign-off on premium projects.

Animatics

Timed animatic sequences with motion and pacing — essential for testing edits and refining beats before the shoot.

Birmingham areas served

I serve clients across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region. Common pickup areas include:

Because the work is delivered digitally with a live document workflow, location matters less than turnaround. Most clients in Birmingham have first frames within 24-48 hours of brief sign-off.

How to brief me

The cleanest brief includes a script or treatment, any reference imagery (mood boards, location photos, lookbook), the desired number of frames or shot list, the deadline and a working budget. From there, I'll come back with a fixed price and the first frames within 1-2 working days.

Working with Birmingham agencies and producers

I integrate into your existing tools — Frame.io, Slack, Google Drive, Adobe — and use a live document workflow so directors, agency leads and producers in Birmingham can watch frames develop in real time and add comments without waiting for an "ETA on V2" email.

Frequently asked questions

Do you travel to Birmingham for shoots?

For most projects, no — storyboards are completed and delivered digitally before the shoot. For pre-production workshops with directors and agency creatives I do travel where the budget allows.

How quickly can you start a Birmingham project?

Same-day starts are routine. Tell me the deadline and I'll tell you what's realistic.

What's the typical turnaround?

A 30-second TV ad (15-30 frames) usually takes 2-4 working days. Rush turnarounds available.

Do you work with Birmingham animation studios?

Yes — animation pre-production is one of my specialisms. I deliver layered files compatible with all standard animation pipelines.
