We recently wrapped an amazing broadcast spot for Butler Community College. By combining stop motion and hand-drawn illustration we were able to develop a truly unique spot that everyone involved with is very proud of. It was shot on a Canon 7D, using the incredibly effecient 8 fps continuous shot setting. We handled all of the shooting, editing and post-production for the spot in-house.

Life's not a game, unless of course you’ve downloaded the new Game of Life app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I had the chance to work with Creative Asylum to create a commercial for the new Game of LIFE app developed by the folks at EA/Hasbro. The spot was designed with an Apple-esque feel in which the iPhone was passed from hand to hand while the game was being played.

This spot was created on a very short timeline, but every project I work on goes through a vigorous creative process no matter how soon the deadline is. Here's a quick inside peek at some of the steps behind the process. First there are sketches.

Then animation boards were created.

Then a short animatic and finally the animation. Below are several still frames from the final product from above.

After completing this animation I was able to go to the actual awards show and see the artists perform. While I was there I sat next to Pete Stacker who did the voice over for the promo. A very nice guy, Pete does voice overs for everything from movies to commercials. Check him out and have a listen to his work on his website.
