June 7 , 2008 - Two New Commercials

These two animations are a little different than what I normally post on my site, but I thought they were worth putting in the gallery because they reflect some of the other kinds of work I do at MAKE. The National City Bank spot I completed by myself in just one day, except for the final audio which was added in later by the agency. The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska spot is the first in a new campaign of theirs, and the exciting thing about it for me was the integration of the 2D animated elements. That was my contribution to the project.

March 31, 2008 - Meet the "Golden Gramms"

The Golden Grahams spec ad I designed and directed for MAKE is now online! The original concept drawings for the animation can be found here.

March 30, 2008 - The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2008 and more...

Here are a few more new spots I worked on at MAKE over the past couple of months. The first spot is an ad for Target's "Club Wedd" campaign, and it screens internally on the television monitors at Target stores. The second and third spots are Burger King promotions that aired before and during the 2008 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, respectively. Although I supervised and directed the animation for the BK ads, the animation itself was actually the handiwork of the very talented Dan Lundquist and Holly Thorstad.

March 22, 2008 - MAKE Bumpers for Stash

Here are three promotional bumpers I directed for inclusion on the latest Stash DVD where MAKE is being featured. The bumpers pictured below screen, respectively, before the MAKE demo reel, the Spilled Oil spot, and the AICP Sponsor Intro. Click on the images to play!
