Expert visual storytelling through detailed storyboards for all production types.

Storyboarding translates scripts into sequential visual panels that illustrate camera angles, compositions, character blocking, and scene transitions. For productions at Steiner Studios and Silvercup Studios, plus on-location across all five boroughs, these illustrated shot plans serve as essential communication tools between directors, cinematographers, and VFX teams, clarifying creative intent before cameras roll.

We connect you with professional storyboard artists across Manhattan and Brooklyn who translate your script and director's vision into clear, detailed visual sequences. Our team coordinates storyboarding timelines and revision cycles, ensuring your boards are complete and approved before production begins in New York.

On Location

Visual planning rooted in NYC's illustration, comics, and editorial heritage

Here is how the work lines up. Storyboarding in New York draws on a draughtsmanship culture shaped by the city's illustration schools — Cooper Union, the School of Visual Arts, Parsons, and Pratt — and a comics tradition that placed Marvel and DC headquarters in Manhattan and embedded sequential-art thinking across the edit pages of The New Yorker, the fashion-magazine art rooms, and the advertising agencies along Madison Avenue and in DUMBO.

Our roster of artists works out of studios across SoHo, Williamsburg, Long Island City, and Greenpoint, and brings credits on theatrical features shooting at Steiner Studios, episodic series at Kaufman Astoria and Silvercup, commercials made through the Brooklyn agency scene, and music videos cut around Hell's Kitchen and the Lower East Side. Styles span rough thumbnail blocking, fully rendered colour boards, animated previs sequences, and technical boards annotated for lens, camera move, and timing.

Every assignment opens with a script breakdown call that locks visual feel, aspect ratio, and the shot density your schedule supports. Artists progress from thumbnail pass to approved boards under named revision rounds, working in Storyboard Pro, Procreate, or hand-drawn pipelines and delivering PDF decks, sequenced PNG frames, and Premiere-ready animatics. Productions running remotely can review boards through cloud platforms, while resident shoots get on-call presence during prep at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, York Studios in the Bronx, or the stage complex at Broadway Stages in Greenpoint. Rush turnarounds of forty-eight hours support the agency commercial cycle. Complex action or VFX sequences ship with shot-list spreadsheets aligned to the AD's stripboard and to documentation needed for New York State Film Tax Credit qualifying-spend files.
