“Before working with Mark, the idea of drawing storyboards without an artist seated right next to me would have made me cringe. He has this unique ability to get inside of your head, visualize, illustrate, and deliver the exact camera angle and composition you envisioned. While concepting shooting boards for a recent five spot campaign, he and I spoke over the telephone exchanging ideas back & forth for about 30 minutes. Within one hour I was receiving rough panels via email, and the process couldn’t have finished any smoother. Story-boarding ‘remotely’ has become my method of choice, largely due to the fact that Mark just gets it!”
– Lionel Coleman, Director – Los Angeles, CA
“Three words say it all, ‘He gets it!’I have had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Mark Oehlert over the last 3 years. On a moments notice I can call him and connect on a number of different levels. From talking through what needs to be brought to life visually, to brainstorming ways to get there. Mark has been and will continue to be a ‘go-to’ partner for TPN especially when we need top-tier executions and thinking.”
– Anthony Massa, Chief Creative Officer – TPN Chicago
“Mark’s storyboards are always dead on. Right down to the camera angle and target demo. Thanks to his experience, he’s a quick study and somehow always manages to meet even the most ludicrous deadlines. If he doesn’t get it right, you didn’t explain it right.”
– Stan, Creative Director – ToolBox, San Antonio
“No matter how complex the project or how tight the deadline, MarkO always came through for me. Even though I wasn’t always clear on what I wanted, the work was consistently excellent and often helped me define what I would do once I got on location or in the edit suite. The storyboards and designs went well beyond simple sketches and in fact were works of art.”
– Donnie, Producer/Writer/Director – San Antonio
“They look great, thanks! Just got out of a meeting and we are in good shape. Another success story for your website!”
– Ola Kudu, Creative Director – BET, New York
“Mark has a great talent to understand the idea from a script or a quick comment over the phone and then bring it alive on a storyboard. His ability to transmit face and body expressions have been very helpful for us to sell our concepts. MarkO is very quick and precise on nailing the idea needed to communicate the message. He has helped us solve crazy deadlines on TV storyboards and last minute changes that require immediate response. He has never said no to a project and has always been sharp on delivering his work on time. Great talent, quick turnaround, and we’ve never met face-to-face! Everything has been by phone, fax or e-mail.”
