Max Forward – Digital Storyboards

DIGITAL STORYBOARDS

My name is Max Forward, and I’m a Storyboard Artist and Illustrator based in Los Angeles, specializing in Advertising, Short Form Content and Video Game Trailers.

My most impressive recent work can’t be posted here until the “heat” dies down, so everything I’ll post here is at least 2 years old (as of June 2024). That said, I’ll be focusing more on updating this site with samples in an effort to help my industry more firmly establish the importance of our craft in these trying times.

If you have questions regarding availability or just want to ask a storyboard artist some questions, please feel free to email my anytime: maxforward@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to help 🙂

  • Not Just Commercials…. “Race at Target Field”

                Many of my motion-graphics clients produce shorts and promotional materials as well as broadcast commercials.  A few months ago I storyboarded a sequence to pitch a kind of animated short that screens at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.  Part of a larger campaign featuring a handful of…

  • Zombies!

    I was trying to think of something interesting to post, and came across some boards I did for this Walking Dead Sweepstakes/Bing commercial.  This was kinda fun for me, since I never get to draw zombies; usually my assignments involve drawing healthy, happy people, nothing scary.  I’m a fan of the Walking Dead comic book,…

    Sonic’s first Street Art – Storyboards

    So, yeah, was on Youtube last night and saw something familiar- a Chevy Sonic spot i worked on a couple months ago, come to life!  Here’s a link to the video: http://youtu.be/msH2Xz8xM0E And here’s the storyboards I did for it! [slideshow id=14]  

  • Saw one of my commercials on TV… DSW “Where’d you get those shoes?”

    Saw one of my commercials on TV… DSW “Where’d you get those shoes?”

    [slideshow id=13] A couple of months ago I met with a new client and worked on their DSW commercial for a couple of days.  It was rainy then, as it is now… good day to write about it.   So anyway I worked on this shoe commercial and it was actually pretty hard!  I did…

  • Hotwheels “Immersion” Pitch

    Hotwheels “Immersion” Pitch

      So, these are some great storyboards I did for a Hotwheels bid, the concept being that at first, we don’t know that this is representative of a toy car fantasy, rather it appears to be a real car in the most extreme adventure scenarios, and at the end it is revealed to be the…

  • British Red Cross – PSA

    British Red Cross – PSA

    Here’s some storyboards for a PSA for the British Red Cross, about … not drinking?  Drinking but not to excess?  Don’t leave your friends when they’re blackout drunk?  Or when your friends are blackout drunk, turn them on their side before you abandon them so that they don’t choke on their own vomit…. that’s it,…

  • “Monopoly” Lottery

    “Monopoly” Lottery

    Here’s a fun series of boards. Kinda wacky.  A “Monopoly”-obsessed man comes home and plays the lottery.  His whole life revolves around monopoly…  Some pretty funny visuals in here.  I think I did a pretty good job of drawing the oversize monopoly pieces. [slideshow id=8]

  • Storyboarding Onsite

    I’m doing a lot more onsite work than I used to.  I take that as a good thing, but it’s never fun to slowly wade through LA traffic twice a day.  Oh well.  Used to be that I almost never met my clients, and would work from home over the internet.  Now I work onsite…

  • My Brand New Storyboarding Blog…

    My Brand New Storyboarding Blog…

    Fascinating, to see how far website design has come in the last few years, since last setting up my previous website, MaxForward.com.  The power of today’s cutting edge blogging programs have completely supplanted my need to finagle and frankenstein together my own haphazard concoctions. Big thanks to DreamHost, for making it easy to register and…
