Harold Moss is founder/creative director of the seven-year-old FlickerLab (New York, NY), a multimedia design and animation studio for film, television, commercials, and the Web. Creating a digital signature of offbeat graphics with a handmade style, Moss reinvigorates the craft of animation with his talented FlickerLab crew. “Animation is inherently a collaborative art form,” he maintains.
Notably, Moss was animation director for the three-minute cartoon, A Brief History of the USA, in Michael Moore's Academy Award winning, Bowling for Columbine (2003). He and FlickerLab also created graphic design and effects for Moore's Palme d'Or winning film, Fahrenheit 9/11, sometimes referred to as the first documentary to become a box-office hit.
Harold Moss recently directed AMC's Monsterfest package, which involved a complete network redesign for its 10 th annual Halloween stunt, as well as two pilots for Playhouse Disney . Other projects include creating all the animated elements for Playhouse Disney's identity package, designing the fully animated graphics package for the Bravo hit Celebrity Poker Showdown , and an interim network redesign for A&E.
Moss's career began in 1989 at Kirshenbaum & Bond, building the advertising agency's digital print and animation divisions. After five years, he went out on his own under the name Toolbox Animation. When, in 1999, it became clear that Moss was no longer a one-man-band, he launched FlickerLab in order to take on larger scale projects and move into long form animation and production.
Today, the design and animation studio, with its long-term collaborators and strategic partners, employs their skills, technology and industry experience on a variety of projects be they concept-to-screen development and production or design and execution of commercials or broadcast promotions. In addition to high quality creative digital content development, FlickerLab works with clients to extend their project reach through advertising, Internet impact, online marketing, and merchandising.
Under Moss's guidance, the company's portfolio has grown to include high profile work for media and entertainment companies including A&E Networks, Bravo, Comedy Central, Discovery Home, Disney Channel, Lifetime, Lions Gate Productions, Michael Moore Productions, MTV, Nickelodeon, Planned Parenthood, The Cartoon Network and The WB, and product/service companies including Bassat Ogilvy, Continental Airlines, Grey Worldwide, Johnson & Johnson, McCann Erickson, Microsoft, Party City and Procter & Gamble, among many others.
Harold Moss holds a B.F.A. in film from Ithaca College, New York.
