At Animatics & Storyboards, Inc. we add excitement to productions, presentations, promotions and websites with outstanding graphic art, storyboards, cel animation, photo comps and pre-visualization, conceptual art, creative character design, and internet animation.

Sounds so grown-up, doesn't it?

Actually, we are a relatively old company, if you consider the 20 years of experience of our principal, Mark Simon. Serving as company president and chief inquisitor, Mark is widely regarded as one of the nation's leading storyboard artists and scholars. (He's written a definitive book on the subject and tours the world lecturing to anybody who'll listen.) Mark's diverse background as a storyboard artist, production designer, producer, director and animator is unique in the industry. Yeah. Really.

We've worked on over 2,500 productions and authored the main storyboard text in the industry, Storyboards: Motion In Art. We have boarded agency broadcast campaigns, shooting boards, feature films, tv series, print comps, photocomps, training videos, web applications, industrials and more. We understand production, directing and editing to help make your project better. Plus, we always have an artist available to help you in your time crunch.
