Storyboard Artist Services
Visual pre-production backed by New York's concentration of illustration, comics, and visual arts talent.
A storyboard artist translates a screenplay into sequential visual panels that map out camera angles, compositions, and scene blocking before filming begins. New York is home to one of the world's densest concentrations of illustration and visual arts talent — from the American comics tradition rooted in the city to the art schools, advertising agencies, and animation studios that have made NYC a creative capital. New York storyboard artists bring this depth of visual expertise to every production.

Whether your project is filming at Steiner Studios, on Manhattan streets, across Brooklyn, in the Hudson Valley, or at Long Island locations, our network provides professionals experienced in features, TV series, commercials, and the high-volume production activity that defines New York.
