I got to draw some storyboards for Makita Tools. The idea was to show how the tools were super powerful for the job site and home, and how they all use the same batteries.

Here's the crazy video. One of my favorite things about being a storyboard artist is seeing what they kept, what they changed, and what they omitted.

This second set of boards focused on their new lawnmower. I hope I never have to draw a lawnmower again. I would. I just...😩 don't want to.
