Creative Direction and Story-boarding by Alyssa Wood
This was the first of five storyboards I created for a client’s Fall/Winter 2015 video campaign. I took the inspirations of the client and presented to them a visual representation of their narrative. From there, we edit, edit, edit until we perfect the desires of client, director, and budget. Video coming SOOOOOON!

The initial idea of tarp surfing was Lee’s. We had an opportunity to create a video but with a very limited budget. During the concept phase I was in Germany at the Adidas Headquarters and was inspired by the classic black and white Adidas Originals track suits. I brought a few suits back to New York and worked with Raul to create a graphic black and white color story. Because we’re not from the West Coast, we wanted to reinterpret for our lifestyle…a little cooler and a bit more glamorous.
Ursula: New York City Tarp Surfing was nominated for “Best Story” and “Best Advertisement”

The Nude Perspectives shoot is my absolute favorite shoot to date. There wasn’t a stylist on hand so Lee and I ran to American apparel and Wolford to pull classic bases that wouldn’t take away from the subtleties in the girls’ body language. This shoot is something that I want to keep evolving and re-doing throughout my career.

I had the opportunity to work with Verizon on an advert that recognized the top African American female executives at Verizon. It was an amazing experience helping these strong and confident women get comfortable in front of the camera. I also did the retouching on this photo. I took notes of all the women’s photoshop requests and photo composited the best shot of each one. They look so good!!
