Professional Storyboarding Services

Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian storyboarding draws on a strong illustration-and-animation tradition, from Mauricio de Sousa's Turma da Mônica (Monica's Gang) comics to the Anima Mundi animation festival, which ran in Rio and São Paulo from 1993.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, live-action storyboarders work alongside a cinematography lineage that includes Cesar Charlone's Oscar-nominated work on City of God and Walter Carvalho's work on Central Station, with Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles's Bacurau (2019 Cannes Jury Prize) a frequent reference for social-allegory framing.

Here is the short of it. Brazil's location-specific storyboarding demands research into the country's vast visual archive. Rio's Carioca Landscapes UNESCO 2012 zone delivers Cristo Redentor (2007 New 7 Wonders) and Pão de Açúcar setting up angles, the Sambódromo Marquês de Sapucaí (Niemeyer 1984) carnival-parade overhead-helicopter framing, Maracanã Stadium (1950 + 2014 World Cup, 2016 Olympics) crowd-shot vocabulary, and kinetic handheld favela coverage. São Paulo Paulista Avenue plus MASP red elevated slab supplies modernist-architectural framing. Liberdade Japanese-district interiors carry distinct neon vocabulary.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, Brasília UNESCO 1987 Niemeyer civic axis (Cathedral, Palácio do Planalto, Congresso Nacional) supplies modernist-political-thriller framing. Salvador da Bahia Pelourinho UNESCO 1985, Ouro Preto, Olinda, Diamantina, and Paraty supply colonial-period coverage. The Amazon UNESCO 2000 (Teatro Amazonas Manaus 1896 opera house, Rio Negro–Solimões confluence), Pantanal UNESCO 2000 wildlife framing, Iguaçu UNESCO 1986 waterfall scale, Fernando de Noronha UNESCO 2001 underwater coverage, and Lençóis Maranhenses dune-and-lagoon graphics extend the natural-history register big.
