Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Create storyboard sequences from thumbnails to clean finishes based on scripts and director objectives. Collaborate with creative leadership and production teams to ensure visual style and storytelling goals are consistently met.
Requires 5+ years of experience as a storyboard artist or director with strong figurative and perspective drawing skills. Proficiency in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Photoshop, and filmmaking fundamentals is essential.
Blizzard Entertainment is looking to hire a Storyboard Artist to join our ranks! Our ideal candidate would be an outstanding draftsperson who is a storyteller at heart whose skills veer towards action-adventure and drama in conjunction with having a firm grasp of dynamic staging, filmmaking fundamentals, and character acting - a team player who enjoys working in a fun, fast-paced environment. Are you the hero we're looking for?
This role is anticipated to be a hybrid work position, with some work on-site and some work-from-home. The potential home studio for this role is Irvine, CA. However, we understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore other possible options, including remote work arrangements.
This is roughly a 3-month temporary position.

Create storyboard sequences from thumbnail, to rough, to clean finish that implement storytelling objectives laid out by the script/outline and Director
Ensure storyboards align with the creative goals of the leadership team - that the vision, style, and storytelling objectives of the various shows and IP’s are consistently adhered to
Collaborate with the Director to discuss storytelling direction, design requirements, and expected level of polish for each episode
Collaborate with creative leadership and production to review goals and vision for storyboards and discuss concerns, timelines, and complexity, given the parameters of the schedule
Regularly meet with Supervisor, Director, Producer, Editor, and fellow Storyboard Artists to thoroughly review, discuss, execute, and revise storyboards
Pitch storyboards to Supervisor, Director, crew, executives, and stakeholders – Receive feedback, then implement notes given
When requested, attend and contribute to script meetings and pitches to offer feedback from a storyboarding perspective
Follow proper document management and delivery requirements according to the productions’ guidelines
5+ years as storyboard artist and/or director
Relevant drawing experience necessary – Strong figurative and perspective draftsmanship a must
Ability to draw characters on model and in a 3-Dimensional setting by providing cleaned-up storyboards with attention to clarity and entertainment value
Adept staging, cinematography and composition skills through drawing and software use
Advanced knowledge of hardware and software including Cintiq, Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and Photoshop - Blender 3D a plus
Demonstrate proficiency in timing, screen direction, continuity, and the language of cinema
Good verbal and written communication skills. Ability to write clear and specific direction on storyboards if requested
Strong time-management skills and ability to meet deadlines
If tasked, work from directors’ or fellow board artists’ thumbnails to create final boards within assigned deadlines
Ability to provide status updates, troubleshoot, and review potential changes on a regular basis with production staff
Resume
Portfolio link with board examples (Ideal PDF of boards or full animatic)
