Script used: Lounge Singers, Kid

Prize won:Limited edition Corel Painter X paint can

Graham’s entry impressed the judges with its depth and adaptation of the script. Even with no knowledge of the story line, the clear illustrations and notes for each meant anyone could follow it and still understand what was going on.

Style-wise, it hit the nail on the head. Using red as the only colour gave a Sin City feel, and you could almost hear the slow jazz and pouring rain in the background. A great entry and deserved win.

Graham Purvis

Script used: The trail of Five-Ton Mary

Prize won:Limited edition Corel Painter X paint can

Graham Thomas, the man responsible for the scripts supplied for the competition, looked at this storyboard and was blown away by how it illustrated exactly what was in his mind. The characters Ian created brought the script to life, and he managed to tread the fine line between fantastical without entering into ludicrous.

As a storyboard, the judges felt as though this one gave an instant flavour for the mood and style of the film. It dictates the colours, scale, type of characters and pace, which culminates in a useful product to take along to pitches. From an artistic point of view, the characters are sublime and the muted tones used to paint them work really well.

Script used: The Last of the Broken-Tokyo Ghost Hunters

Prize won:Wacom Cintiq 21UX

Although it has become a competition standard to say how hard it was to decide upon a winner, in our case it really was. Each entry brought something valuable to the table but Leighton’s storyboard combined them with the most aplomb. Art-wise, it’s clearly successful. The storyboard is just beautiful to look at, and we liked all the little details such as the stylised arrows and elements coming out of the frame. In terms of what a storyboard is supposed to do, it was equally as successful. A director or camera operator can clearly see how to position shots and move around the action. It clearly shows the pace of the story in addition to setting the mood of the scenario.

So a massive congratulations to Leighton. He is rightly crowned winner and we hope you enjoy your Cintiq!
