These two could use some couples counseling.

Bozell Worldwide Canada Art Director, Benjamin Vendramin, wanted the three-spot package for the Canadian wine maker to have the look of a New Yorker editorial cartoon. We animated the spots traditionally and each drawing was then illustrated with soft pencil, and composited over the illustrated background. The finished animation was then digitally “averaged” to give the spot its soft, shimmery look. This one always catches people off-guard with its abrupt punchline.

The strikingly beautiful U.S. National Parks posters of the 1930’s were the visual cue for this animation production for Orchard Supply Hardware. Our client wanted to take the viewer on a scenic tour of the various lush, green regions of California, OSH’s home state, from the Central Valley, to the redwood forests, to the Pacific coastline. Art design by Peter Hoey and Maria Hoey.
