- Incorporate feedback and notes from the creative team efficiently and effectively, making necessary revisions to storyboards while maintaining consistency and artistic quality.
- Utilize industry-standard software and tools (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Clip Studio Paint, traditional media) for creating and organizing storyboard panels.
- Contribute to the creation of animatics by providing timed sequences of storyboard panels with basic sound, dialogue, and temporary music to visualize the pacing and flow of a scene.
Qualifications:
- Proven experience of 1-3 years as a Storyboard Artist.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional drawing skills, clear visual storytelling, understanding of cinematic language, and diverse character expression. (A portfolio is mandatory for consideration.)
