Testimonials

“Mike is one of the nicest and most accomplished storyboard artists I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His deep cinematic understanding, staging and draftsmanship make for very exciting boards which translate perfectly into animation. Having Mike on our team not only ensured a high quality project, but a very smooth pipeline from boards to animation. His professionalism and work ethics are unmatched and he's a great teamplayer. I look forward to collaborating with Mike on many future projects!”

Gili Dolev (Director)

'My Magic Pet Morphle'

“Mike is simply one of the very best storyboard artists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His storytelling ability, staging skill, knowledge of camera techniques, and a wonderful drawing style make him my first choice if I need storyboard work. On briefings, he is always making suggestions for improvements to shots or a more interesting set up, and as a director, that’s exactly what I am looking for: a skilled artist who can collaborate and deliver on my requests, but also add and evolve the story through the process.

His humour and good nature make him an invaluable addition to any crew, and if I couldn’t have him on one of my productions, I would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone who needs world-class storyboards.”

“Mike was our 'go to' board artist on my high action and more family entertainment series Kitti Katz (for Netflix). I have traditionally given Mike the more dynamic episodes as he is great at making something feel exciting and pacey and is a great animation director. He is also lovely to work with, totally reliable, collaborative with the rest of the boarding team and a really nice guy!”

Alex Cameron (Senior Producer)

'Robozuna', 'Kiti Katz'

“When I saw Mike’s storyboards on an early Episode of Robozuna, I immediately told the producers that he had nailed the dynamic angles and fast flowing punchy action that the show needed with clarity and clean storytelling. I was Head of Story on this project which needed a flair in the staging to suggest superhero action without a blockbuster budget. This crisp elegant and dramatic stylisation was what Mike brought to it and it was exactly to my taste. When I was co-directing Kitti Katz for the same creators/producers his work was the gold standard which we used as a guide for all the board artists. On top of that, Mike is totally reliable, with a communicative easy-going manner.”
