From Script to Screen

Your managed VA handles the visual planning heavy lifting, saving your animators hours of prep.

Script Breakdown

Analyzing voiceover scripts to identify visual cues, segmenting text into logical scenes, and establishing the initial pacing of the video.

Moodboards & Concepting

Gathering visual references, color palettes, and stylistic examples in Milanote or Miro to establish the creative direction before animating.

Scene-by-Scene Planning

Building comprehensive storyboards in Boords or Canva, mapping out transitions, camera movements, and on-screen text for every frame.

Asset & Stock Sourcing

Hunting down high-quality stock vectors, photos, or B-roll footage that perfectly matches the established moodboard and script requirements.

Animatic Preparation

Timing storyboard frames against the scratch voiceover track to create rough animatics, ensuring the pacing works before full production begins.

Client Revision Management

Organizing feedback via Frame.io or Boords, updating storyboard panels based on client comments, and keeping the project moving forward.

A Managed Creative Team. Zero Overhead.

We oversee your pre-production workflow on your behalf at absolutely no extra charge.

Dedicated Project Manager

Stop micro-managing. Hand your script to your PM, and they ensure the VA executes the visual breakdown according to your exact creative brief.

No Platform Markups

Traditional freelance sites eat your margins with 20-40% hidden fees. Sagedoer charges 0% in platform fees. You pay strictly for pure hours worked.

Centralised Time Tracking

We track output, not idle time. Our VAs only log hours when they are actively sourcing assets, building boards, or organizing feedback.

Seamless Replacements

Production deadlines don't pause. If your VA is unavailable, your PM immediately briefs an internal replacement to ensure zero downtime.

"Cut our pre-production time in half."

"Having a VA parse the script and set up the initial Boords layout saves our senior animators days of work. The PM ensures everything follows our agency guidelines perfectly."

— Mark R., Creative Director

"The animatics were perfectly paced."

"We gave the Sagedoer team a scratch VO and a rough moodboard. The VA sourced vectors and built a timed animatic that the client approved on version one."

— Sarah T., SaaS Marketing Lead

"Transparent pricing."

"We used to pay massive markups on freelance sites for storyboard help. Sagedoer's pricing is straightforward, and the fact that they manage the QA is a massive bonus."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Storyboarding VAs.

Do the VAs hand-draw custom illustrations?

While some of our experts have illustration backgrounds, their primary focus is visual sequencing and pre-production layout. They heavily utilize tools like Boords, Canva, and stock asset libraries to rapidly build comprehensive, professional mockups and animatics that animators can follow.

Will the VA learn our specific agency style?

Yes. You provide your brand guidelines and previous work examples to your dedicated Project Manager. The PM trains the VA on your specific aesthetic and QA's their output before it ever reaches you.

Can they handle client feedback rounds?

Absolutely. If you use a tool like Frame.io or Boords to collect client comments, the VA can go in, parse the feedback, swap out assets or adjust text, and prepare the next revision version.

Do I pay extra for the Project Manager?

Absolutely not. Sagedoer operates on a strict zero-platform-fee model. You pay exclusively the hourly rate for the pure working hours generated by the VA. The Project Manager's QA and supervision are completely free.
