Storyboard Job from '08

Below are some drawings from a job I drew in late 2008. The client was an Entertainment entrepreneur from Kuwait who was involved in producing all kinds of media. This particular project was for a proposed animated music video. The story line follows two characters called Tarek & Elaine who meet in the ocean and fall in love while flying around the heavens and creating a floating island paradise (pre- "Avatar," btw!).

I posted a couple of these images back when I first drew them, but now that the job has long past, I think it's safe to share a bit more, just for fun. In total, I drew about 60 boards. Here, I present a third of them...

These boards are sensational! The Kuwaiti guy got his money's worth!

These are pretty complete illustrations compared to most of the storyboards I've seen. Was the client trying to sell the story via the storyboards, thus driving the higher quality execution?

Yes, I think that was the idea, Marc. I believe they were presentation boards used to entice potential investors or something.

I'm not sure how that's going, but the client did string the storyboards together as a little movie, along with the music, for their website. Might be on YouTube, also.
