TESTIMONIALS

Joel Cardinal is a fabulous discovery if you‘re looking for creativity, artistry and dedication. He gives you a 120% to visually provide you with the highest quality and professional execution of your illustrative concepts. I would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for A+ talent. His incredible ability and professional attitude was a real find.
--Isle of Avalon Productions, Inc.

"After an exhaustive search for the right storyboard artist, Mint Films LLC recruited Joel Cardinal to board several commercials which were being pitched to high profile Producers. We were working on a very strict deadline and had specific requirements. Not only was Joel able to meet my deadlines but the boards he produced under these circumstances were phenomenal, to say the least. Producers to whom we pitched the commercials consistently commented on the boards and their quality. In addition, Joel was able to work with us to hone and economize our ideas into coherently structured storylines. I recommend him in the highest regard and feel certain he will exceed your expectations."

"Joel was not only talented as an artist, but he understood the language of cinema and came up with a number of great ideas during the pre-production process" Being faced with increasing production costs, Joel‘s detailed storyboards helped our production team find short cuts which in turn saved us a lot of money. His services have paid for themselves and more! He will be working on my next project.”

Director

"I hired Joel to create storyboards for my editing book and he delivered exactly what I was looking for. He took direction very well and worked hard to get everything done on time. After that success, I hired him again to draft a mock-movie poster and this time he went way above the call of duty and created a beautiful poster, again responding extremely well to direction, and adding a lot of his own imagination while staying true to the project. I would happily hire him again and recommend him to anyone with illustration needs. Thanks Joel!"
