Young Heller is a storyboard artist and revisionist, and episodic director for The Legend of Vox Machina. He is also the frontman for the metal band Hexicon.[2]
He has worked as a storyboard artist for Warner Bros. Entertainment on DC Comic's direct-to-video projects, and for Marvel Entertainment on Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, and Spiderman (the animated series).[3]
Of his work on The Legend of Vox Machina, Young explained that as one of the three episodic directors on the project, he was involved in every third episode. He was assigned to the first episode which was recorded live in a studio, but production moved to home-based as the Covid pandemic started in March 2020.
As one of the directors, he was responsible for assigning storyboard artists to various portions of the script, a role that he described as 50/50 between management and being an artist. "I really like storyboarding. Directing is fun and it's nice to see your name in big letters but I'm an artist first, and I like to deliver something pretty. I like the delivery. I like working on something in a corner like a craftsperson, and then 'Look what I did,' and they go 'Oh my god, that's great.' Hopefully. That's where I'm at. That's what I like to do."[4]
