This is a 3-D interactive ‘mission’ booth for LIVESTRONG. It illustrates the survivor care and advocacy activities of the foundation. Motion graphics play on flat panel displays which are integrated into the structure of the booth which communicates the ways in which people can join the fight or receive help from the foundation.

People are invited to use a number of custom stamps to create their own piece of ’cause art’ which they can hang on a series of strings that span between the two end caps of the booth. It is both an education and invitation for people who experience it and continues to be a very moving and invigorating experience for participants.

“Second Industrial Revolution”

Friday, April 24th, 2009

In 2006 we went to the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo to make a documentary. We wanted to explore how close America was getting to undergoing a green building revolution.

Brand Films. Neccesary content.

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

We began producing Brand Films in 2002 on a project for Rudy’s BBQ. That work is still on our site. It was raw and real. It worked. Drove sales increases and, I think, still holds up seven years later. Rudy’s still runs it.

We didn’t know we were making “brand films” then. We were collapsing the strategic planning discipline with the creative development discipline out of necessity. We had just formed our shop and the budgets were small. It was just Marty and I, a Canon GL2, a 35mm still camera, going crazy on a road trip. We put the money into original music and post. In the end, we discovered a method of working that is very hands on and frankly we’ve never walked away from. We just gave it a name – Brand Film. (more…)

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas needed a piece that would drive recruits for their program. The film we produced used stop motion photography (Beth Perkins) to highlight a day in the life of a “Big” and his “Little.” Ultimately the goal of the film was to lower the mental barriers potential “Bigs” might encounter while considering becoming involved.
