Now Playing: MGD - Always Tonight

MGD is launching a national broadcast campaign to highlight its new product label. MGD and Commonground engaged us to shoot and edit a spot in conjunction with their European campaign. Our goal was to focus on strong product imagery while still showcasing an epic night with friends that no one would want to end. Cheers!

Not long ago, we wrapped production on a really unique motion project with Rodgers Townsend that had us gracefully crashing through walls and falling through floors. The outcome was a silky smooth spot for AT&T's new Unified Messaging App. The video can be viewed below and expect a follow-up post with more details on the shoot with some behind-the-scenes of how we pulled it off.

It's PRIME-time

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT

We've spotted some of Brandon's latest animal work hitting the shelves of Innova Pet Food retailers. Brandon and crew headed out on an adventure to the Pacific Northwest with the great folks over at Brighton for Innova's PRIME lineup of all natural of pet foods. We've gathered up some images from the trip along with the finals that are on the packaging.

Also be sure to find us over on Twitter and Facebook. (The rest of the images after the jump)

Below are a collection of BTS and iPhone pictures from the crew members:

Brrrr... It's cold and snowy outside here in the midwest. Hopefully you're able to sip a cup of your favorite hot-brewed beverage, and enjoy the warmth of these summer lifestyle images Brandon created for Cannonball. This shoot was a fast-paced couple of days at 4 locations, including a rooftop, restaurant bar, a lakeside park, and a backyard BBQ.

More pics after the jump, including some BTS and crew shots.

Behind the Scenes: BSS Holiday Greeting 2011

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Happy 2012! We had a ton of fun over the holidays and hope you did the same. Our 2011 Holiday Card may have given you a glance at a few of our shenanigans. Spiked punch, Santa Claus, raining money, police and a very large horse all made their way into the card. Here are some BTS cell phone snapshots of the fun (borderline absurd?) production. And yes, the horse was real and had a comfortable 4" clearance under the doors.

Our holiday card this year was inspired by a project we just completed for our friends at The Alchemedia Project which just went live the other day, and you can check it out here.

More pics and a quick video clip after the jump.

Brainstorming

Just before remodeling began on the new Motion department workspace, we had to break it in the only way we knew how... with a little festive soiree. We started with a rough diagram of where to setup the party elements.

Enjoy these 15-seconds of snowy goodness, then head on over to Eckert's to create some family memories this holiday season.

The Modo Moto

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Keeping in tune with all things fast, Roger has been cranking away on a new side project, no kickstart needed. A natural progression from his 3D Mach 5 Racer from a couple months back, this time Roger takes to two wheels in Luxology's Modo 501, a 3D modeling and rendering software.

Inspiration wasn't too far off as Roger is a motorcyclist himself. Added influence came in the form the music. The sounds of Queensrÿche flowing through his earphones, while balancing time between his computer and his garage for parts reference.

Detail shots and some early wireframe models after the break.
