Hi, I’m Guillaume Girault, a storyboard-focused animator with over 20 years in the industry. I’ve had the chance to work with major French studios like Blue Spirit and Cybergroup, and I’ve collaborated with a wide range of clients as a freelance artist (UNICEF, Les Mini Mondes, etc.). In 2022 I focused on storyboard to help writers and directors shape a first visual vision while anticipating technical constraints for large productions. For me, a storyboard is about elevating the vision of incredibly creative teams while fully understanding the challenges and constraints of a big production pipeline. In short, the storyboard is where I showcase the creators’ vision, align with the production realities, and set up a solid foundation for the subsequent animation, layout, and post-production steps.
