More summer/winter '08 work below...
These 30 second commercial spots were created to promote the Discovery Channel's new show - How Stuff Works. HSW originally began as a website, it was then bought by Discovery, and now it's a show!
Here are two of the four spots I animated:
LASIK:
MACHINE GUN:
The Animation Block Party is a huge animation festival in Brooklyn, NY. This spot was played before the screening of the festival's different films. Dave Schlafman was approached to produce this spot and he asked me if I wanted to work on it. He gave me all the characters and I took care of the rest. I love short projects like these...
*Apple's text speak was used for some of the voices
I was approached by a friend to create a short promotional video for his long time buddy's company: Give Something Back. This is a project that made me feel great to work on. GSB is a business supply company, like Staples, except that they began with an unusual business model: they give all of their after tax profits to charity, just like Newman's Own. How cool is that? I'm always inspired to hear about businesses that are concerned with more than just the bottom line. Check out the video and find out how they operate.
Jen Blicharz created the fantastic office and warehouse workers and Dan Flynn did the cool little paper animation you see at the beginning and end. I had a ton of fun on this project...
