Below are a few examples of storyboards that were created for PickStar’s Masters of Mindset video series that were posted to PickStar’s social media channels.
The videos aimed to tell the stories of some of the talent available on PickStar’s platform. These videos (and the accompanying copy) ranged from a number of different themes, including; leadership, mental health, motivational, resilience, team work, communication and many more.
NOTE: I storyboarded over 90 videos for this series, so have elected to only include the best of the collection. The videos themselves were created with images I sourced, however the production was done by video editing interns. The videos themselves can be viewed in the links provided below.
