Part of a four-spot package through Bayless Cronin, the campaign features the characters Full-Flavor, and Full Pockets, and was designed to emphasize convenience and value. They were traditionally hand animated, hand-inked, and cel shaded to match Church’s existing print campaign.

We worked with Martin Williams Creative Director, Pam Mariutto, to produce a package of five holiday spots that highlighted various luxury items to be found at Marshall Field’s. The look of the spots, which needed to match the store’s collage-styled print campaign, incorporated photographic images along with animated elements against lush, cycling backgrounds. Traditionally animated, each frame was hand-inked and painted with subtle tone variations to mimic the look of oil paint on canvas.

Carmichael Lynch was looking for animation for a TV spot to promote the lottery’s new scratch-off game and to produce it in a style reminiscent of the great Tex Avery MGM cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s, with wild actions and slapstick hits. This is the type of assignment that most character animators drool over because, for an animator, there’s nothing quite so fun as animating big, over-the-top actions.
This cartoon style animation was produced using traditional, hand-drawn animation and hand inking.

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.

Our client wanted to introduce the world to Samsung’s Blue Seat campaign through this animated spot, to be shown in theaters prior to the feature. We used traditional, hand-drawn character animation for this re-telling of the classic David and Goliath story, but our version has a slightly different ending with a touch of good old cartoon irony.
Animated traditionally, hand-inked, and composited in AfterEffects.

More than 70 years after they graced the screens of movie houses across the country, there is still something visually compelling about the style of the old animated theater “shorts”, and this spot is a nod to those great cartoons of the 1930s and ‘40s. Produced through DDB Worldwide, this classical animation spot uses a bottle of Hershey’s Syrup, an unassuming cow, and a little bird with a violent streak to illustrate how simple it is to make chocolate milk. One of a series of traditionally animated spots we created for Hershey’s Syrup.
