Christmas Time

Every year we always talk about sending out some sort of animated Christmas Card to our friends and clients. That is usually met with a "yeah, but" because we're just so busy. Well, this year we finally decided to do it. It's a fun mixed-media piece that uses miniature sets shot on a Canon 5d mkII and CG animated characters. Everybody really worked hard to get this thing done in the 3 weeks we had to do it and I have to say we couldn't be prouder. We'll post a "making of" soon to show a little of the behind the scenes.

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!

Well, we found out we won the Vimeo Weekend Challenge for the week of Halloween! Pretty amazing, because I know they get a ton of entries for these challenges. You can see the video below.

We've been having a lot of fun with Vimeo's weekend challenges. Its a good break from the day to day and forces us into a little bit of a film making improv class. This week our own Rebecca Jones answered the call a put together a heart-warming piece based on Vimeo's requirements for the week. We plan on doing as many of these as we can between projects and if anything else, gives us some content for the blog. Take a look and tell us what you think.
