Big Papi Loves Boston, and Mayor Michelle Wu!
Client: Z Tribeca/MZL Media
We had a blast animating this spot featuring baseball legend Big Papi in support of the reelection of one of our very favorite mayors, Boston’s Michelle Wu! So winning both a Gold and Silver Polly from the American Association of Political Consultants was some sweet icing on the cake. But not as sweet as the fact that Wu whooped her Republican opponent Josh Kraft so badly in Boston’s non-partisan primary, he dropped out without even going into the general! Of course, Mayor Wu deserves all the props for that rout, but we were glad to be part of the assist!

A Task of Cosmic Importance
Client: Climate Ad Project/Peter Kalmus
One of our favorite videos we made in collaboration with the Climate Ad Project, founded by climate activist and then NASA climate scientist Peter Kalmus. As the true effects of the climate catastrophe are showing up with greater and greater devastating impacts, this short film eloquently lays out the stakes for a task of, literally, cosmic importance.

A Quick, and Occasionally Bloody, Look at the Death Penalty
Client: #DeathPenaltyFail
We were honored to commission this irreverent, but fully factual, animated exploration of the history of the death penalty, for the #DeathPenaltyFail campaign. Our stick figure host, himself awaiting execution, takes us through all the ways the death penalty is not only brutal and cruel, but also deeply unjust and ineffective. We’re pretty confident its the only death penalty film with a ukulele driven exploration of all the horrible ways humans have developed to formally murder each other. While we were worried we may have pushed things to far, when we heard that Helen Prejean, author of the book Dead Man Walking, gave it a thumbs up at a screening, we knew we’d done OK. No review of anything we’ve ever done has meant more.
