La Creme "Picnic" Goliath Agency

For the La Creme website, Slingshot, LLC sent us the brief to create short love moments between and a cup of delicious La Creme yogurt and a silver spoon. Our brains went everywhere from a “Breathless” bedroom scene to an “Umbrellas of Cherbourg” song and dance. Through the miracles of 3D technology and the skills of Dustin Scott and Michael Ricks, we arrived at these scenarios. Special thanks to Tequila Mockingbird for threading the musical needle.

State Farm "Cedric" Sanders/ Wingo

State Farm agents have some interesting stories to tell, and Sanders-Wingo presented us with the unique opportunity to push these bizarre narratives even further. Rather than taking the literal route of visual storytelling, we instead chose to let the agents’ voices be the stars of the show, bringing their words to life with bold kinetic type and graphics.

City of Austin Water Conservation "Grow Green"

We jump at the chance to be involved in a project from the ground up, and we like it even better when we can contribute to as many facets of the work as possible. In these three spots for Austin clean water initiative GrowGreen, we had our hands in everything from concept and writing to music, voice talent, design and animation. If you have half as much fun watching these spots as we did creating them, we’ll be very happy people. Special thanks to Tequila Mockingbird, character creator Brett Stiles Design, word-wizards Risky BBQ and Austin music luminary Dale Watson.
