In late 2013, we were enlisted by Northside Media Group to produce and direct a series of 8 animated shorts, based on compelling stories from 8 Brooklyn bartenders, as part of an integrated promotion with Jack Daniel's, the legendary whiskey brand. The project had 6 distinct stages: participant selection, story editing, animation direction and production, web design, contest execution, and special event/screening production. The project spanned over 6 months, and culminated in a fantastic set of animated shorts that are fun to watch- our animators did an incredible job of bringing these stories to life! We had a lot of fun working with so many different artists and technicians, and we were finally able to celebrate with them at the Jack Daniels sponsored screening event at The Woods in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Pics of the event below- all of the animated shorts can be found on our Vimeo page, as well as in our WORK. Thanks Everyone!
Here's the winning animation- it's a story told by bartender extraordinaire Mary Guiteras, animated by the amazing Danielle Ash:
