You’re already on the path. VIP is the fast track.
If Mentorship is built to get you hireable in 12 months, VIP is built to get you there as fast as possible, with a pro in your corner every single month—your portfolio rebuilt shot by shot, a personalized job-search plan, and someone checking your work every single month.
Keep everything you have. Add the five things that get you hired.
Your Core Mentorship — curriculum, weekly group critiques, the Vault, Discord, and the double guarantee — continues exactly as-is. VIP stacks on top.
12 monthly 1:1 coaching calls
A private 60-minute session every month with your pro mentor — focused entirely on your boards, your portfolio, and your next step.
6 deep-dive intensives
Extended sessions across your first 6 months for the heavy lifting: portfolio teardown, drawing overhaul, job strategy, mock interviews.
Done-with-you portfolio rebuild
We help you choose, sequence, and present your strongest work across ArtStation, your portfolio site, and your PDF deck.
Studio-ready job-search plan
A personalized outreach plan with proven templates — plus monthly accountability so applications actually go out.
Extended Support Guarantee
VIP onlyIf you do the work and still haven’t landed your first storyboard client, we’ll coach you 1:1 for an extra 6 months at no additional tuition — up to 18 months total of private pro support on a single $5,000 upgrade.
Designed to pay for itself
Land one solid freelance sequence—or at typical studio day rates, 10–15 working days can cover this entire upgrade.
Instead of years spent wondering what to fix, a working pro tells you exactly what to do — every month.
We apply what got students hired at Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Blizzard & Netflix directly to your work.
One upgrade. Twelve months of a pro in your corner.
By clicking the button, you authorize StoryboardArt to charge $5,000 to the payment method on file from your Mentorship enrollment and upgrade you into the VIP track.
Bring your boards to a free 1:1 call. We’ll look at where you are, answer your questions, and give you an honest recommendation — even if that’s sticking with Core for now.
Schedule your 1:1 call →What direct mentorship actually does
“It’s been worth the extra coin to have the 1-on-1s with a mentor. Knowing I have to have something each month has been really motivating — especially since I’m trying to network and impress.”
“This program changed my life. I got the feedback and direction I needed to actually enter the animation industry.”
“I transitioned from comics to storyboarding by getting very direct guidance on what to fix in my portfolio. That’s what finally got studios to say yes.”
For students who don’t want to “hope it works out”
You can’t lose this bet on yourself
Complete your VIP milestones, and if you still haven’t landed your first storyboard client, we keep working with you for an extra 6 months — at no additional tuition.
VIP also follows the same core refund policies as your Mentorship. Do the work, and we stay in your corner until it pays off.

Common questions
Do I have to start VIP right away?+
You can, but you don’t have to. We recommend starting within 30 days while your momentum, assignments, and feedback are fresh.
What if I fall behind?+
VIP adapts to your pace. On every 1:1 call we reset your plan around your real-world schedule, so you keep moving even during busy seasons.
How is my mentor chosen?+
After your kickoff call we pair you with a working storyboard pro aligned with your goals — TV, feature animation, or games.
Can I upgrade later instead?+
Maybe. VIP spots are capped by mentor capacity. Right now you have a guaranteed upgrade option as a current student — if this page is open, you can still claim a seat.
What if I change my mind?+
VIP follows the same core refund policies as the Mentorship — plus the Extended Support Guarantee if you complete the work and still haven’t landed a client.
You’re already doing the work. Finish it with a pro beside you.
