Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm on the lookout for my next storyboard gig! I have experience on shows ranging from primetime comedy at Bento Box + Titmouse, children's shows on Netflix, as well as 3d action boards at Lucasfilm! Keep me in mind for your next project- thanks!

Last week we heard the official news that The Great North will not be renewed. 😔 I worked on that show for the last couple of years, so I'm REALLY on the lookout for any new storyboarding or previs opportunities. Any leads or recommendations are super appreciated- thank you! 🥹

Marissa Bernstel @mbernste.bsky.social · 21d

also all of these are a mix of jokes and drawings from myself, my director @aimeekitty.bsky.social, and fellow storyboard artists @seegsart.bsky.social, @athsieh.bsky.social, Jen Shang, and Julie Drohan!

Welp since the last episodes of The Great North have aired, I present to you "Desktop Memories"- a silly video I made for my team on our last day, compiled of dumb doodles and screenshots I found while deleting things off of my computer. Really miss this show and all the folks behind it! ❤️

A lovely storyboard by @mbernste.bsky.social for The Great North! Marissa is such a conscientious and thoughtful artist. She came up with all these funny animatronics in the background and a lot of the Maple World ideas. 🍁

Yay, I can finally post these cute Tobin moments I drew from last night's episode! This was the last thing I worked on, so it really felt like a love letter to all these characters I've gotten to know over the years. I really miss them and my incredible team! ❤️ #TheGreatNorth

video games right now: half the people I know are out of work and the other half are in DMs with me telling me things like "yeah so Lobster Guy (guy at my studio who does no work and puts a live lobster into other people's cars as a prank) was moved to another project so HR can avoid firing him"

Heard it was Final Fantasy 9's 25th anniversary, so here's a little planter I made for my husband YEARS ago when we were first dating. Thanks for all the nerd points, Vivi!
