When defining the daunting tasks a team faces conceptualizing game cinematics, Tom Price's storyboards are invaluable. Tom's experience streamlines production to clearly define the vision and feel of the team’s demands. Always respectful to the intention of the script, Tom provides a wealth of staging and narrative strategies for working out animatic sequences on paper. Instead of boring back and forth over-the-shoulder dialog shots, Tom gracefully storyboards brilliant composition of staging, editing, rhythm, and transitions into game play. While discovery time is limited in production, Tom is a resource for alternative solutions on the fly, in line with the style, and without affecting the schedule. He's clear, practical, and precise, has never missed a deadline, and is a pleasure to work with. Before your cinematic team wastes any time, energy, and money, add Tom's talent to your arsenal—you can't afford not to!

Tom is the best board artist I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with plenty.  No matter what the project, Tom ‘gets’ it right away.  His draftsmanship is tight and on-model, his screen direction and staging are impeccable, and he plusses his panels with surprising and original gags.  I never have to ask Tom to take an action or expression farther; he understands the potential of the animated medium and pushes its limits.

Having Tom on a project gives me one less thing to worry about.  He’s low maintenance, fast, reliable, and a hell of a nice guy.  He will never disappoint and will always deliver.

Can't wait to work with you again, buddy!
