Australian Defence Force

Friendly member of the ADF, conducting his duties helping civilians to reach safety

In 2023 I drew many storyboards for the Australian Defence Force’s recruitment drive. I was commissioned by VLMY&R, through my storyboards agent Stacey Simpkin of International Rescue.

I drew 120 frames in around three weeks. Many frames had layers to enable the designers at VMLY&R to create a pre-TVC animatic of the action, so the ADF could see what the finished commercial would look like. There was a strong emphasis on creating an inclusive, friendly impression, but also very effective where it counted. If you click here you can view the commercials.


I enjoyed the job although the deadline was very tight but I got to draw soldiers and hardware which made it an enjoyable departure for me.
