Advertising for the University of Wisconsin

By

Coming up with new ways to promote is always a challenge. With a limited budget and desire for comedy you can’t go wrong with an animation. This is one of the many scripts John wrote for the pitch. The one that wasn’t picked was a great deal more snarky (and my personal favorite) =) We […]

Live Production: Snow Mobile 2014

By
