About

I’m Darren Wall, a freelance storyboard artist and animation director working across film, television, advertising, games, and live events. I build storyboards, animatics, and concept designs that translate creative vision into clear cinematic language, and I also direct animation and manage production teams, schedules, and budgets.

I’ve worked with major clients including Sony, Disney, the BBC, Cartoon Network, and more, and I’ve led production since founding Planet Jump Productions in 2010. My background also includes directing animation projects as Head of Animation Production at Chase Imagination, with experience spanning everything from concepting and client communication through to delivering polished animation sequences.
