After Aboard made a pivot to a software accellerator platform, they got in touch with me again to make another introduction video. 

Produced in collaboration with Aboard.com

The project began with a script written by the client. There are a lot of ideas here. My first task was to simplify the narrative.

Storyboards 1

This was my initial set of storyboards. In this version, a software production timeline is the device that brings viewers from scene to scene. After seeing the entire set, we decided this depiction of a timeline wasn't working as well as it could.

Timeline Explorations

We took a detour and spent some time workshopping different versions of the timeline and overall look of the spot.

Storyboards 2

Finally, We decided to drop the idea of the timeline all together. This allowed us greater freedom and lead us to an idea of a simpler spot. This was the first set of storyboards where we hit on the beginnings of what would be the final look of the spot.
