Crew Listing


Description

Highly skilled storyboard artist. Returned to it over a year ago, after working in the field about twenty or so years ago. I've worked as an illustrator for thirty years. When Covid came, I started working for US based film company producing illustrated assets for others to animate for "how to.." guides for Amazon, which has led me back to animation/film/tv work. I illustrate under a pseudonym, Nathan Daniels (www.nathandaniels.com, all socials are under that name too), but storyboard work has always been under my real name, Chris Robson.

Bristol based, so have naturally worked for a number of Wildlife production companies in the city, and also for Aardman. Veteran of nearly 2,000 frames.

For a while, working on Nightmares of Nature for the BBC (a series about so many animals attacking people in so many different ways) I did seem to find myself in the slightly niche "action movie/wildlife documentary" crossover genre, so more than capable of taking on any live action work. The illustration work also required a wider range of ideas and styles that I could bring to your projects if needed (particularly animation), and hopefully shows a natural affinity for compelling narrative, engaging images which are the core of my work, along with some pretty good portrait/likenesses and the ability to adapt to a "house style".
