World Avocado Association - World Guacamole Championship

We had the pleasure of working with the World Avocado Association on this delicious 30-second 3D animated commercial which was aired on NBC during the 2021 Olympics. We worked very closely with the client to make their vision come to fruition. The incredibly talented director, designer, and storyboarder Rich Draper gave us the direction we needed and with the help of the talented team at BFX CGI, we were able to breathe life into these amazing characters.

Blazer Brands came to us to create an animated logo for their Strong Strap product. We had a great time working with them to bring their brand vision to life.

Jesse Boykins III "Earth Girls" Music Video

Tree Growing.png

Wrong Creative reached out to us to do the animation and visual effects in Jesse Boykins III's music video "Earth Girls", directed by Christine Yuan.  Our task was to create a CG tree which would grow in two of the shots.  The challenge was a very limited budget, an extremely tight deadline, and the production needed to happen over the Christmas holiday break. We're always up for a change, so we agreed to help them out.  We were able to pull it all off, and had a great time in the process.

Honda: Navigation - 2017 CES

Screen Shot 2017-09-06 at 3.57.23 PM.png

We had the amazing opportunity to work with Alpine Electronics on some projects for Honda.  This was the second project we worked on for them, and it was for the 2017 CES.  Similar to the first project we did for them for the Los Angeles Auto Show they wanted us to create another cool looking navigation system to run on their display at the convention.  This time they wanted a completely different look from the first one we did for them.

As with the first one we only had a little more then a month to do all the work, and we needed to create a 3D animation of a 2 minute drive through of the streets of Las Vegas to the Las Vegas Convention Center.  As with the first video the first challenge was creating all the city and street models for the 3,600 frame drive through the city.  The next challenge was trying to create a completely different look for this demo video.  With all the asset building, design iterations, and the extremely tight deadline it required some long days for our team.  We did learn a lot working on the first video with them, and once again where able to deliver on time.
