Professional Storyboarding Services

Storyboarding in China draws on a visual lineage that runs from Tang dynasty painting and Song landscape scrolls through Ming porcelain composition into the contemporary worlds of manhua, mainland animation, and the VFX-heavy features built by directors like Frant Gwo and Wuershan. Our roster of board artists works out of Beijing Film Academy's Haidian neighbourhood, the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute corridor in Chongqing, and the Shanghai animation studios in Songjiang, with credits across theatrical features shooting at Hengdian World Studios, streaming series for iQIYI and Tencent Video, and commercials produced for global brands across the Bund and Pudong skylines. Styles range from rough thumbnail blocking through fully rendered colour boards, animated previs sequences, and technical boards annotated with lens choice, camera move, and timing for the director of photography and VFX supervisor.

Every assignment opens with a script breakdown call that fixes visual language, aspect ratio, and the shot density needed by your schedule. Artists then progress from thumbnail pass to approved boards under named revision rounds, working in Storyboard Pro, Procreate, or hand-drawn pipelines and delivering PDF decks, sequenced PNG frames, and Premiere-ready animatics. Cross-border productions can run boards entirely remotely through cloud review tools.

Here is how this works in practice. . While resident productions get on-call presence during prep at Hengdian, the Beijing-based stage complexes around CCTV Sangyuan, or the rental facilities in Chedun on Shanghai's outskirts. Rush turnarounds of forty-eight hours are available for commercial work, and complex action or VFX sequences ship with shot-list spreadsheets aligned to the AD's stripboard and the NRTA approval calendar.
