OUR STORY.
Established in 2016, STORYBOARDWORKSHOP is a boutique service for Film Directors, Art Directors, Game Designers, Animators, Advertising Creatives and just about anyone who needs to communicate an idea visually, a vision clearly, and a concept quickly, efficiently and convincingly. As a reaction to peers and contemporaries within the film industry frequently retaining his services as a freelance Storyboard Artist, Writer/Director Seán Branigan began a journey to discover his on-set experience and directorial sensibilities could greatly benefit the storyboarding process for other directors and creatives in general. Seán has been drawing since he could hold a pen and storyboarding on and off for various commercials and feature films since his time at The National Film School, IADT Dun Laoghaire (BA Film & Television Production) and subsequently in London whilst gaining his MA in Fiction Directing at the prestigious NFTS (National Film & Television School), Beaconsfield UK. Since then, Seán has been simultaneously writing and directing numerous short films as well as being signed by Antidote to direct commercials for various innovative advertising agencies and clients internationally. Now, along with a mix of talented in-house and freelance storyboard artists, Seán offers his experience as both an illustrator and an award-winning film director, ensuring the standard of every project stays high and meets client expectations. Seán’s 12 years experience in the industry brings with it an ever growing knowledge of composition, various storytelling styles and techniques as well as character design to creatives in Ireland, Europe and eventually, around the world. Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider STORYBOARDWORKSHOP to aid with your creative endeavours. Please enjoy some examples of some of our work to date and please feel free to get in touch for the chats.

STORYBOARD WORKSHOP Print Portfolio 2017 | 11
3x PENCIL panels from 3 Mobile European Championships TVC - Henry Mason / Antidote / 2016
Black & White, Line-Drawn Panels.
The PENCIL package will provide you with functional boards to quickly and efficiently communicate shot size, composition and angles to cast and crew clearly and efficiently on the day. These practical boards are best for a director getting a sequence or a series of sequences clear in his/her head before arriving on the day - ensuring everything cuts together, flows and plays the way it should. As always, Storyboards aren’t rigid. Things change, crises occur as they often do on set and as a good director will always be prepared to adapt, the PENCIL boards ensure that in the worst case scenario, the scene will be covered.

The TONE package communicates your approach to mood and atmosphere with lighting references and a more eye-catching panel. As with the PENCIL package, these boards are perfect for having to hand on set to quickly communicate your plan to a lot of people at once, but can also help to put your collaborators/clients/financiers mind at ease if they feel unsure about an idea that hasn’t been made clear enough to them yet. Confidence from the top is always great to allow you the freedom to get on with your creativity.

ANIMATIC for Trivago TV aid in the production of their commercials
Animated Storyboard Movie
The ANIMATIC is exactly what it says. No clever stuff here. Just your storyboard animated - edited together with correct timings and pace. They can include basic sound effects, dialogue recordings and a scratch soundtrack based on a reference of your choosing. Often times, there’s nothing quite like making the film before you make the film. It’s a safe and cost effective way of evaluating whether or not your film moves as it should. Do your transitions work? Those shots cut together? You crossed the line of action? Forget about it. It’s grand.

ABOUT SEÁN. Having always had a passion for the arts; specifically drawing, acting, writing, and photography, Seán knew at the age of sixteen, his path would involve telling stories. After graduating BA Hons Film & Television Production at National Film School, IADT Dun Laoghaire, his graduate film, ‘Martin’, garnered critical acclaim, won the ‘Tiernan McBride Award’ for Best Short Film at The Galway Film Fleadh and went on to screen at numerous film festivals around the world as well as the honour of an IFTA and Royal Television Society nomination later that year. Immediately after, Seán was selected for a place at the NFTS (National Film & Television School), London to study for an MA in Fiction Directing. Here, he got the opportunity to develop and hone his craft under the guidance of the likes of Director Stephen Frears and Producer Lynda Myles to name a few. There, he wrote and directed four short films, one of which was the ambitious period western, ‘The Pride of Wade Ellison’. Since then, Seán has directed numerous TV Commercials for a collection of innovative advertising agencies, directed another short film ‘After’ under RTÉ/Filmbase Short Film Award and is currently developing his first feature and a pilot for a TV comedy drama series entitled ‘Re-sessioners’ He now brings all of the above mentioned elements and experiences together to form Storyboard Workshop. With the intention to show fellow filmmakers and creatives the benefits of storyboarding as an underused area of pre-production, Seán will recruit, utilise, and oversee illustrators with a fluent understanding of the language and dynamics of storytelling through drawn images. A miscellany of Seán’s films can be found at www.seanbranigan.co.uk
