    Really interesting interview. It was neat to discover a little more about James’ creative process. I still feel a little curious as to how these styleboards make their way into motion design. Do the motion designers take each board and re-create all the elements? James said his strongest skill is painting.. Does he mean painting with a brush? or a tablet?

    This is wonderful. Great job. One note the url link to his site was broken for me (but I could figure out there was just an extra word appended).

    hey Chris sorry for the late reply, to answer your question man, normally the boards and style frames are just to show the client in order to show them what the project is going to look like, sometimes designers are able to make the elements from their boards if the elements are high rez or divided on to separate layers. also by painting i mean with a tablet. I very rarely pick up a paint brush, unless its to paint a bed room :)
