Our storyboard artists have extensive experience across feature films, TV drama and pre-school, commercials, games, promos and music videos.

Hiring a storyboard artist through Silver Studios facilitates a quick start to production, and a seamless integration through to previs.

CONCEPT ART

Engaging Silver Studios' concept artists early in a project transforms ideas into vivid visuals, vital for funding and production planning. With their expertise in building 3D worlds, our concept artists collaborate with previsualization artists to enhance visual storytelling. This collaboration also allows for integrating cameras seamlessly into the concept art, enriching the overall creative process.

PREVIS

Unlock the full potential of your ideas with our 3D animation expertise. Our team excels in modeling and animating digital versions of environments, actors, and cameras, providing you with a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to on-set production.

Whether you're in the early stages of concept development or navigating the pre-production phase, we offer collaborative solutions tailored to your needs. Our experienced professionals can assist you with proof of concepts, even before a project is greenlit, ensuring that your vision is accurately visualized from the start.

With a deep understanding of cinematography and shot creation, we seamlessly blend our skills with other departments and creatives involved in the filmmaking process. Our ability to liaise effectively enables us to bring your project to life and create a unified visual language throughout.

POSTVIS

Once your footage is captured, our team can integrate computer-generated elements of your choice into shots, delivering quick and impressive edits. By utilizing our compositing services, we offer a cost-effective and time-saving solution to enhance your visuals.

Collaborating with the editorial team, we streamline the decision-making process before sending shots for colour grading or final visual effects.

This invaluable tool allows you to gain feedback on your project, as test audiences can experience your vision with temporary visual enhancements.

TECHVIS & SHOOT PLANNING

We can work with you to figure out how to shoot scenes effectively, focusing on information such as camera rigs, camera lenses, green screen sizes, stage sizes and many other factors.

We can put together diagrams and visuals to aid other departments on set, allowing for a streamlined workflow and enhanced coordination.

Here are some examples of shoot planning that we often get asked to help with:

-Checking camera lenses for framing

-Checking camera moves within set dimensions and restrictions

-Where to position cast members on the shoot

-Logistics of crowd placement within a set

-How far away lights would need to be and how lighting will work
