Mayo Clinic "Benny": Silver Addy Winner!

The Addy Awards were on Saturday at The Duce in downtown Phoenix. We all had a blast dancing and enjoying the festivities. The theme this year was "Glutton for Punishment." For those that have never been there, The Duce is a stripped out boxing gym that doubles as a gym, and restaurant/bar. A very cool venue indeed! Anyway, We ended up winning a Silver Addy for a spot that I cut. The original spot was made in Jacksonville, Florida, and was 1 minute long. I cut it down to 30 seconds and shaped it for the Phoenix market.   Credit goes to the directors and Nitrous Creative of Dallas for all the original footage. You can watch the video below:

ANDERSON also won a Bronze Addy for all the great work J. Gonzo did on the Harkins Theatres loyalty one sheets. Next time you visit a theater be sure to check the posters for Harkins loyalty comic books!  Thats all him!  Thanks for viewing.  :)

Wichita Kid Productions - Animated Logo

Hello friends!  A little while ago I sat down and had some breakfast for dinner with my friends over at Wichita Kid Productions.  They have made some really fun and inspiring films and all of their projects have a great sense of humor!  I had the pleasure of developing an animated logo for them and you can watch the final below. 



The character was designed with their sensibilities in mind by Kristina Runyan, a very talented budding animator and artist.  She created a variety of designs for them and then animated a walk cycle for the final version.  I then took her animation and implemented it into the logo and gave some direction on sound design for them to get a final master.  You can view more of her work here:

This was her first official animation and I think she did a great job!  Check out more of her content, especially her life drawings!  They are really quite fantastic.  Thanks for viewing!
