Obviously, the only way to do this is to go animated. http://www.holbrooklyn.com/Branding-Summit http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/Branding-Summit Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:14:57 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 2830189 Corporate video firm Mainspring and I worked together on animated material that bookended a branding summit for the employees of a major snack food brand. Talking about the theory of branding can be interesting, but also incredibly dry. Some great art direction by Cory Hutchinson, copywriting by Mike Mullen and oversight by Shamus Halkowich turned this beast into something really fun. The actual formatting of the video isn't ideal for viewing on the web, but here are some frames I'm really happy with. <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz002.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz002_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz003.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz003_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz006.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz006_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz007.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz007_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz013.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz013_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz014.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz014_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz017.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz017_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz018.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz018_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz019.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz019_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz020.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz020_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz021.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz021_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz022.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz022_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz023.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz023_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz024.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz024_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz025.png" border="0" width="670" height="276" width_o="1452" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/2830189/Snapz Pro XScreenSnapz025_o.png" align="left" /> http://www.holbrooklyn.com/48-Hour-Film-Festival http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/48-Hour-Film-Festival Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:23:36 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 836326 The 48 Hour Film Festival was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had that involved only 4 hours of sleep over the course of a weekend. For those unfamiliar, the challenge is simple: make a film in only 48 hours, and everyone must work the assigned story elements into the film. 2009 NYC contestants were given: Character: Bethany Grimes Professional Organizer Prop: Set of Keys Dialog: "You're not going to believe what I just heard" Our randomly chosen genre was: detective/cop drama I was responsible for all the VFX and the unnecessarily elaborate ending title scene. Our entry actually won for Best Art Direction and Best Editing, but the real prize was the shower I took as soon as it was over. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 11.png" border="0" width="531" height="298" width_o="531" height_o="298" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 11_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 12.png" border="0" width="530" height="299" width_o="530" height_o="299" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 12_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 13.png" border="0" width="532" height="299" width_o="532" height_o="299" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 13_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 14.png" border="0" width="532" height="300" width_o="532" height_o="300" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/54826/836326/Picture 14_o.png" align="left" /> http://www.holbrooklyn.com/1-Remakes http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/1-Remakes Mon, 22 Nov 2010 17:29:01 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 800973 A series of one-shot spots that never made it to air. Conceived and executed in roughly 48 hours, $1 Remakes was originally named Greatest Moments In Film History ,which was a really boring name. Ari Douthit suggested the name $1 Remakes, and as much as I hated to admit at the time, it's much better. That was the first time I learned that sometimes a catchy name is all it takes to turn a decent idea into a great idea. http://www.holbrooklyn.com/Comedy-Central http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/Comedy-Central Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:58:24 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 796183 Comedy Central has been real good to me. I've freelanced their long enough to work with hamburger puppets (twice), watch Cat Stevens and Ozzy Osbourne duet from 20 feet away (in the name of sanity/fear) and have tequila shots with Doug Herzog (a mensch if there ever was one). Among some of the more soup to nuts projects I detail on this site, this reel is a smattering of the motion graphics work I've done since I started in 2007. http://www.holbrooklyn.com/Children-s-Poem http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/Children-s-Poem Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:57:40 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 799284 A type based project I did at SVA. The assignment was to animate a children's poem, and I got "What are Little boys made of?" The answer, of course, is snaps and snails and puppy dog tails, which could not be a more random collection of barely related things. I decided to push the whole thing to it's logical conclusion. http://www.holbrooklyn.com/Big-Vs-Small http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/Big-Vs-Small Mon, 22 Nov 2010 01:57:39 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 799281 A motion design project I did at SVA where we were asked to illustrate the concept of Big vs. Small. We were not required to animate a nearly 2 minute cartoon, but what I ended up with set the tone for the rest of my motion graphics career: make it fun, make it clever and if all else fails, put a cleavage shot in there. I hope you never look at Pokemon the same way again. http://www.holbrooklyn.com/Address-the-Mess http://www.holbrooklyn.com/following/holbrooklyn.com/Address-the-Mess Sat, 20 Nov 2010 17:15:40 +0000 the Holbrooklyn 786819 Timberland and Comedy Central team up for the annual Address the Mess campaign. Each year it's something different, and for 2010 we went all out. Timberland recycles plastic bottles to make their shoes; this guy recycles plastic bottles to recreate Hollywood Blockbusters. I got to design all the puppets and the massive mural of an alien planet, that for legal reasons, is absolutely nothing like James Cameron's Pandora from the movie Avatar.

What if Quentin Tarantino had a thing for penny loafers? What if Hayashida's style bible Take Ivy was the setting for DragonBall Z? Developed with Dave Beausoleil, Zak Koonce, Kevin Miller, and Ian Urquhart, Nature Boy is the story of St. Edward's, a century old prep-school that over the years has been taken over by warring gangs of students - the most nefarious and dangerous gang of all are the ruthless The Teddy Boys. The only heroes that protect the innocent are a beautiful Guidance Counselor with a temper, a loud mouth girl with a bicycle obsession, the twerpy son of the Principal who's obsessed with US History and a blind transfer student with a secret identity. Nature Boy is the most fun I've ever had making anything, and someday it'll be the most fun you've ever had watching anything.
