Aztak needed a new piece for a drug on hypertension.

We animated a client concept of a shark in a fishbowl denoting the control of hyperactivity that tied in to a branded campaign already in place.

Music FTC

Your Miami

Cracked Latin

Cracked Latin needed a whacked (cracked) viewpoint for their song Your Miami. After a few meetings we decided to dress up the cracked duo in all sorts of persona. The song is about experiencing all Miami has to offer and more.

IN HIS OWN WORDS

HANS VAN DE BOVENKAMP

This 30 min. documentary is about sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp. The piece reveals his process, history, and principles in the creation of his works.

It's really been and honor and pleasure to work with Hans and I'm pleased to call him a good friend.

RITUXAN/ RETHINK RA

GENENTECH

This piece was done for Genentech for their drug RITUXAN. The client had developed a concept about "Rethinking" Rhumatoid Arthritis. They supported this theme by choosing a person who was a great (re)thinker and innovator. In this case they chose Les Paul the great musician and inventor. Les Paul invented the solid body electric guitar among other electronics in the music industry transforming it forever. His contributions have shaped music in a profound way.

This association is how the client presented the innovation of their drug RITUXAN. A truly remarkable drug for arthritis and joint pain. The original piece was shown in a "theater" (shaped like a B cell no less) in conventions across the world. We shot Les Paul in NYC and Dr. Meese in Seattle then got to work animating and developing these concepts to a finished piece.

Music Jon Wygens

Glaxo Smith Kline

We were called in to do a MOA (method of action) piece for GSK on a drug that helps induce sleep by blocking certain hyperactive receptors and allowing others to connect and help induce sleep.

The Doors of Dr Mullray

Merck Vaccine Support

Merck came to us to do 3 Film Noir pieces in a series for their vaccine reps. They chose 3 different storylines involving sales reps and a "vass" healthcare pro. This piece is "The doors of Dr. Mullray".

FTC produced all to create the Noir look with greenscreened actors and Computer Generated environments. We had a ball working with the actors and sourcing all the costumes and props. The music was scored by the excellent London composer Jon Wygens.

Dame Tiempo

THE JEMSTONES

The Jemstones had a driving piece of music that needed a visually rich video about love and loves lost over a lifetime.

We suggested the surreal/symbolic view shown here incorporating elements from latin milagros to lotteria cards. Enjoy!

Diachi Sankyo

COMPOSER

Diachi Sankyo needed a launch video for a new software program for reps and health care professionals within their company. After previewing the process needed to show how the software was executed, we got to work and delivered this motion graphics piece.

We again are gracious to work with the talented composer Jon Wygens who created the excellent music track on this one.

Mark Wiener

GESTURE POOLS

The artist Mark Wiener was working on a series of paintings titled "Gesture Pools". He requested a video to be previewing at the showing of his works in 2 concurrent Madison Ave. gallery shows. The animated text towards the end is Mark's own artist statement.

He was super pleased with the results. So are we.

Takeda

Hypertension

Takeda needed a piece to accompany branded materials for their launch of a drug to help with hypertension. The concept tied in the aspect of global warming and striving to do a "liitle" to change it - can do a lot. This was shown worldwide in a custom made Takeda convention booth as well as internal use. We also created 3 other technical pieces for the screens and the kiosk used in the booth environment.

The pieces were very well recieved. The agency won a global award in the pharma industry.

Santa's Sled is a Drag

FTC HOLIDAY PROMO

This season we did a holiday piece based on a Santa's sled race through the mind of a young child. We thought if Santa's jet powered sled was paired against a hot rod - who would win? At the end of course there needs to be the thrill of a crash so smashing into stacked presents and flying through a wreath seemed appropriate. Enjoy and hopefully feel the thrill and fun of a child's mind again.
