LOOK NOT AWAY

BEHOLD!

In a time of great technology, ancient sword and sorcery clash

in a blinding flash of light! Sparks fly, the ground quakes, cell

phones flicker! The shockwave resonates through your very

spirit, stimulating long quiet emotions and releasing a single

tear of wonder.

​

As the smoke clears, one thing remains:

some damn great media.

Labor Union Gets Funny (But Accurate!) Legal Advice

A union organizer gets questionable legal advice in this short satire. But could the crazy lawyer be right: Is it LEGAL for unions to trespass on private property while screaming through bullhorns? Long story short: It absolutely WAS legal in California—until Pacific Legal Foundation won a victory for farmer Mike Fahner and Cedar Point Nursery at the Supreme Court in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid (2021). One morning in fall 2015—during Northern California’s frenetic harvest season—Cedar Point Nursery was at full staff. Five hundred employees were hard at work in trim sheds, tending to the strawberry plants that would soon ship to growers throughout the country. They were suddenly shocked when a crowd burst through the doors and made their way through the building, barking through bullhorns that the workers needed to join the UFW. Some workers were so scared and intimidated that they left the property, but most stayed on the job, uninterested in union membership. California state law allowed private sector unions to come onto private property for (up to) 3 hours a day, 120 days a year to recruit workers into joining their union. But Cedar Point Nursery and Pacific Legal Foundation fought back—and won a victory for property rights at the Supreme Court.

High School Civics Simulation: "Leading Through Crisis" by iThrive Sim

iThrive Games came to us looking to reach a new and exciting level with the promotional video for their next educational simulation: "Leading Through Crisis." They gave us the first draft of a script and we transformed it into a scene from a suspenseful political thriller, with a fun little twist at the end. Production involved working with young actors, one at a time, in a covid-safe environment. Post-production really added the meat to the bones of the spot, heavy on the multi-screen editing, motion graphics, and sound design. The client was thrilled with the final product and we are too. From iThrive: Groundbreaking legislation is about to be passed. An international incident is on the horizon. And then, a crisis shocks the nation. The clock is ticking and Americans want answers about who's in charge. https://ithrivegames.org/ithrive-sim/leading-through-crisis/

Yule Log Fireplace w/ Clydesdale & Dalmatian (from Budweiser)

Spend a cold winter's eve curled up next to the fire with your furry friends: a Budweiser clydesdale, dalmatian, and production design from Oldstorm Studios. Originally made for Budweiser's YouTube channel in the winter of 2015/2016 in collaboration with VaynerMedia and Spectrum Studios. VaynerMedia commissioned us to design, build, and decorate a "cabin" large enough for one of the massive, iconic Budweiser clydesdales and one of their dalmatians, AND make it appear as if the space really exists, fully decorated.. We found an outdoor fireplace at a park near St. Louis, then with the help of Jack Thomas of Blue Coyote Design Studio, we crafted the warm, festive interior of a lodge around this large stone fireplace. https://www.oldstormstudios.com http://bluecoyotedesignstudio.com https://vaynermedia.com/ https://gospectrumstudios.com/ Uploaded with permission.
