The Home Court of College Hoops
Promo Package ESPN
ESPN wanted to create a “home court” venue for college basketball, where all of the teams come to compete under ESPN’s roof.
In order to promote every possible match-up in one venue, we created team banners that function as dynamic ensigns over the field of battle. Dramatic lighting and details including dust in the air, fabric textures in the flags and a crowd alive with excitement add up to make the package a total slam-dunk. Multiple versions of these shots make for a highly editorial style, easy customization and help keep the ESPN brand ahead of the game.

Our friends at BBDO called...
… with a great concept and an open brief. With a tight budget we decided to put all our money into a great prop. The gag practically told itself but was brilliantly directed by our very own Andy Miklis. The resulting spot broke traffic records for the CVS Facebook page!

The Open
On Air Promo ESPN
ESPN was looking for a new way to dramatize the Open Championship golf tournament in its 140th year. Drawing on the lore of Saint George who was beatified for slaying a dragon, we decided to imbue the rolling green landscape of the course with an almost mythological power to turn the tournament into an epic battle between man and nature.

Barbershop
Main Title Showtime
For Showtime’s adaptation of Barbershop we created a title sequence that celebrates the Barbershop as the cultural hub of the community. Collaborating with a barber that specializes in creative haircuts, we shot the process in action within a real Harlem barbershop. The space was a virtual hall of mirrors which provided a shooting challenge that really helped create the filmic style that makes this piece stand out.

The Purple Rose
Main Title Design, Edit and Animation Wassat Productions
Director Jodi Binstock of Zombie Nation and Web Therapy fame approached us to craft a title sequence for her first film in the Purple Rose series. Our editorial approach was to tease more than reveal - raise more questions than answers. The design process led us to make subtle glitches in the footage and title that gave hits of purple color while setting the viewer on edge.
