My name is James Iles. I’m a storyboard artist with over 15 years of experience in television, commercials, video games and feature films.
My work in the film industry started in the UK as storyboard artist for the BBC's Doctor Who, working on 34 episodes. There in Wales, I simultaneously provided storyboards for Hartswood Film's Sherlock television series, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
In 2015, I storyboarded the re-imagined feature film The Crow, working with director Corin Hardy, but that vision of the film never made it all the way to production. From 2016-2019 I worked as storyboard artist for feature films, commercials, television and video games for companies including Remedy Games whilst writing and developing a number of my own projects.
To better understand how the storyboarding process affects shooting and post production, I’ve produced a number of short films in Finland and the UK which pay affectionate homage to the practical creature effects films of the 1950's and 1980's.
In 2019 I produced and directed the first music video 'Control' for Welsh heavy rock band Pearler.
From 2020- 2023 I’ve provided storyboards for various clients including Marvel Studios, Netflix, Studio Canal and Remedy Games. Recent productions I’ve been involved with include the horror feature Azrael, and Cold Storage, based on the novel by David Koepp.
