CLICK 3X HELPS MTV CREATE ANIMATED CIRCUS FOR SEE YOU SUNDAY
Embarking on a new creative partnership, Click 3X recently collaborated with MTV to create a show open, packaging, and promos for See You Sunday. Promoting four new shows in their latest block of Sunday programming, the clips incorporate live action footage of high-profile stars with unique hand-drawn animation, explosions, and VFX. To support the shows, Click animated several promos, a :30 opening and cut-down, six bumpers with integrated animation, and two live action bumpers, each playing off traditional images of circus life with high-intensity, parodied versions of classic stunts. The vibrant animation interacting with the live action created by Click 3X adds depth to the storylines, while supporting the style and humor of the shows.
Targeting the young male demographic with a weekly high energy, must-see event, See You Sunday includes Nitro Circus, a daring stunt show starring Travis Pastrana and Johnny Knoxville, Fantasy Factory, showcasing Rob Dyrdek's wild skate-based schemes, College Humor, based on the wildly popular website, and How's Your News, a product of South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, which follows five reporters with mental and physical disabilities. The colorful animation helps to build the mood of each piece with outlandish antics such as animated knife-throwing, bananas brandishing chainsaws, and the carnival's tall man upstaging all with his powerful rainbow pee-stream. The :60 promo, Anticipation, features the shows' stars about to perform in a sideshow complete with human cannonball, tightrope skateboarding, daredevil motorcycle jumps, and face-offs with ferocious lions. The additional animated content created by Click 3X artists follow the same themes, showcasing the bizarre but enthralling, reality-suspending sideshow worlds of the carnival grounds with effects and characters that build on the intrigue surrounding the shows.
Commenting on the initial collaboration, Creative Director/VFX Artist Mark Szumski explained, "Harold, Evan, Thomas, Kris, and the rest of the MTV team were an absolute joy to work with on this project. I know this is a cliché, but this wasn't work, this was fun. Tom, Erica, and I were in our creative comfort zone for this job creating seamless visual vfx, creative editorial and subversive, psychedelic graphics. In fact, many of the pieces were actually a result of some organic, on-set brainstorming between our teams." The entire Click team worked extensively with the MTV staff and directors from pre-vis through post, coming up with creative solutions and providing effects expertise on-set and throughout the filming and editorial process. Creative Director/VFX Artist Mark Szumski and VFX Artist/Animator Tom Matheu each spent significant time on set, contributing their expertise. Shot with both Red and Phantom cameras in an enormous area complete with boxcars and a 30 foot ramp, the team was able to effectively capture the action-packed narrative and set the stage for Click's animators to go to work. To enhance and heighten the strange, engaging effects on top of the live action, Click artists also added sky replacements, lighting and fire effects, explosion embellishments, and smoke to the range of shots, using Flame to cleanup and composite the layers of each piece and increase the impact of the shots and animated effects.
Commenting on the collaboration, MTV Design Director, Thomas Berger notes, "I was really impressed by the level of dedication that Click 3X showed in helping bring our twisted vision of psychedelic circus train mayhem to life. There was a great sense of collaboration throughout the project, and their enthusiasm and hard work was second to none."
The See You Sunday block debuted to excellent ratings, helping to secure the crucial target male audience for MTV.

AVSO AND OFFSPRING INTRODUCE THE 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID
Following their exciting campaign introducing Ford's new F-150 last fall, New York-based A Very Small Office (AVSO) in collaboration with design and animation studio Offspring has launched a series of three graphically exciting :30s introducing the new Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid. The We Speak Car campaign features vibrant landscapes, oversized typography, and bold voiceovers that highlight the features of the dynamic new vehicle that sets it apart from Ford's established existing lines.
Each of the efforts feature various live action Ford Fusion models bookended in colorful typographic quotation marks, then cascading through a graphical wonderland along a whitewashed backdrop, encountering, altering, and generating simple geometric forms, cities, and gas stations. The stark backdrop highlights the car's superb styling and design; the onscreen images reinforce its superior technological features; and the car's relentless drive through the shifting landscape spotlight its strong presence as it drives optimistically toward the future.
"With so much bad news streaming from Detroit lately, we wanted to create a source of optimism, both for Ford and potential buyers," noted AVSO Director Mikon van Gastel. "We think this car represents a major departure for Ford, representing a whole new way of building vehicles, and we wanted a forward thinking campaign that would surprise and inform people all at once."
Hybrid, focuses on the unique advantages that the Fusion offers as a Hybrid, such as its 41 miles-per-gallon average in the city. To reinforce the environmental benefits of such efficiency, the graphics surrounding the white backdrop continually morph into tangles of tree leaves and roots as the Fusion zooms effortlessly through cityscapes and wide-open terrain, sometimes streaking a trail of green behind it which were inspired by the innovative eco guide on the digital smart gauge instrument panel, unique to the Fusion Hybrid.
I-4 highlights the Fusion as the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in North America, as the car whips past - and avoids - a collection of graphical gas stations. Van Gastel comments, "I-4 is about the duality of the car's personality. Our hero silver car speaks to the model's fuel efficiency which is impressive for a traditional engine, and the red car delves into the model's performance power, which is unique for a 4-cylinder...you might not expect it to be fun to drive, but it is!"
In Sync, three individual Ford models painted three different colors, all with distinctive features move from one to the next with seamless elegance. The spot showcases the vehicle's voice-activated Sync system, through which a driver can place a phone call, activate the sound system, or request directions from a GPS without taking their hands off the wheel. A sequence of arrows and stylized words appear over, inside, and between the speaking Fusion cars to reinforce the power of spoken language to guide the vehicle's operation.
Rather than following the traditional vendor model, in which the studio works with the advertising agency from a distance, AVSO teamed up with JWT/Team Detroit to collaborate on the spots from concept to final execution, creating a true partnership.
"One of the things that AVSO has prided itself on since inception - and we share this trait with our colleagues at Offspring - is our willingness to innovate not just in our product, but in our process as well," stated AVSO Executive Producer Saffron Case. "This collaboration with JWT/Team Detroit is just one example of our team pulling together to do things differently without compromising the quality of the final product."

LA-based directing collective and design/animation group Syndrome just rolled out the show open for Rob Dyrdek's new MTV show Fantasy Factory. The graphically explosive sequence shows renowned street skater Rob Dyrdek bouncing rapidly through a colorful fantasyland of pipes, ramps, and funnels leading from city streets to twisting pipeworks to the mouth of a lion, among other incredible scenes. Dyrdek's mascot, Meaty - a mainstay from his original show, Rob and Big - of course accompany him on this rapid-fire montage, joined by new puppy and sidekick Beefy.
To capture this dynamic graphical world, Syndrome shot Dyrdek against a greenscreen and transposed him over the boarded-out scenes. The idea was to create a video that symbolized the free-flowing thoughts in Rob's head as they materialized in a stylized fashion, capturing his vivid imagination.
"We had a blast with this one!" noted Syndrome's Executive Producer Monica Blackburn. "Rob and his crew were great to work with. We were really excited to have this opportunity to showcase Syndrome's ever-evolving capabilities with such a creatively intense crew on a high-profile new show."
Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, which launched on MTV on Feb. 8, revolves around a fantasy warehouse in Los Angeles loaded with an incredible skate park, a giant skate ramp launching into a foam pit, a basketball court, Dyrdek's office loaded with his massive collection of skate decks, and "Corpo," a corporate office on the second floor that houses his lawyer, toy designer, and executives, among others. Dyrdek will include a whole cast of characters, including an SUV named Stormtrooper, a three-wheeled car named T-Rex that can outrace a Ferrari, and, of course, his dogs Meaty and Beefy.
"Syndrome killed the open," said Rob Dyrdek. "I wanted something that captured the insanity of what we're doing with this show and they nailed it. From the live action skating, to the funky graphics - it really sets up the kind of Willy-Wonka fun that we have on the show."

Crossroads' recently signed director Stuart Rideout helms a terrifying tale of Armageddon for the PS3's Resistance 2 game via Deutsch, LA. The spine-chilling :60 cuts to menacing prophets from various periods in time including: the desert prophet, the oracle, the young Buddhist monk, the blind man, and the voodoo lady; their sensory accounts anecdotally tell the story of impending doom.
Resistance 2 begins by profiling an eerie old blind man in a hospital recanting a horrifying nightmare. Suddenly, we cut to a man shrouded in a cloak aimlessly wondering the desert babbling of the humming noises he has heard from above. Interspersed scenes from the game mix with supposed reality. Another quick cut takes us to an angelic woman circling a large white rock, a scary voodoo lady, then to a young monk boy lying on a table telling how "they" are coming in large numbers.
