Bristol is the natural-history capital of the UK and a powerhouse for animation (Aardman), documentary (BBC Studios Natural History Unit) and indie film. Productions here demand storyboards that are character-true, geography-literate and animation-ready.
What I deliver for Bristol 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 Bristol 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.

I serve clients across Bristol and the wider South West England region. Common pickup areas include:

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