We’re a team led by Alessio and Cristina

10+ years of experience

Storyboards and animatics for animation, video games, commercials, education and business, from Sarzana in Italy, for studios across Europe, North America and Asia.

One of us is also a licensed architect specialising in project management. That is the part of this studio that has nothing to do with drawing, and it is why creative project management is something we sell rather than something we merely practise.

AGILE TEAM

This mission is driven by a cohesive team of experienced professionals operating within an agile mindset. Through collaborative workshops and upfront proactivity, every challenge is met with a strategic focus, ensuring that the final output functions not merely as drawings, but as a comprehensive blueprint from a dedicated strategic partner.

Our full team comprehends supervisors, experienced storyboard professionals and revision professionals.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY

tech knowledge leads to big numbers

To deliver our creative vision, the process leverages classical paper hand-drawn thumbnails with cutting-edge technology through industry-standard platforms including Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Flix, Blender, and Autodesk suite. This technological framework is focused entirely on maximizing value and creating deeply empathic projects that resonate with the audience, establishing the meaningful connection that ultimately defines the success of an entertainment project.

    Storyboard Supervisor

    Senior Story Artist, Supervisor, and Toon Boom Certified Professional with 10+ years of experience boarding major series for Warner Bros., Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Rovio.
    As founder of Story Bards, I combine a background as a Ving Tsun Kung Fu instructor with broad narrative versatility, supervising teams and specializing in staging complex action choreography as easily as hit preschool shows like Peppa Pig and Emmy-nominated hits like Batwheels.

    I build high-performing, high-trust story teams through empathetic leadership and clear communication, helping new talent get up to speed quickly while keeping artists supported, motivated, and doing their best work.
