Fuse Network’s Rock and Roll Acid Test Open.

Our friends at TLC brought us on board to concept and execute several spots featuring several Kodak products and Paige Davis.  This is one of them featuring the M1030 Digital Frame.  And, featuring our good friend Josh Joplin’s music.

TLC came to BARK-BARK for concepts and execution of several spots featuring Ziploc Bags in everyday life.  You gotta be pretty smooth to key a Ziploc… I pat ourselves on the back for that one.

We delivered concept and execution of this campaign for KFC.  The marriage of poultry and Law and Order was an interesting match, but I think we pulled it off with style.  In fact, it was featured at Promax/BDA in the “Best Practices” for Integrated Marketing.  Buh-Buh.

Nickelodeon needed a sweeps spot for their client Hasbro and the launch of Island Princess Barbie product. We shot greenscreen on our stage to deliver the “stepped-effect” they were looking for. Thanks to some 3D and 2D composite, and lots and lots and lots of sparkles, we delivered the kind of beach vacation only Barbie could imagine.

After working with them through an agency, our good friends at G4 asked us directly to take a stab at generating buzz around their multi-platform identity launch… Multiplex. Our pitch was that G4 allowed it’s consumers to connect with their devices in a richer, more immediate way because of what G4 offered anytime/anywhere. Through an intensively technical shoot and post, we delivered a seamless message that G4’s multiplex can truly “transform” your everyday life. PS- this was before the Transformers movie came out.

Again, As part of the multi-platform launch of the MTVN channel, Logo, and as a key affiliate piece, we created a 3 minute live action and flash animation short film to distribute virally via the web. Not only was this a wildly successful viral video, this piece received the single highest award for interstitial television, The Promax/BDA Gold Award.

We were asked by the filmmakers of Blood Car to come up with an interesting title sequence using the existing conceit. We think it’s hot. Look for Bark-Bark’s own Robert Paraguassu… the art director on the movie, which is now a festival circuit favorite.

We like to help people, so we reached out to our friends at Habitat for Humanity to create a targeted, revenue-generating spot for them. We thought that there was a key piece of valuable information to communicate to their potential middle-income donors– give to habitat and you make your home, your neighborhood and your city a better economic opportunity. The spot has been a wild success, and we feel really proud that we got a chance to do our jobs, and help lots of people. If you have some extra dollars, why not donate to Habitat right now?  You’d feel good too.

The band fell in love with adam’s style from seeing his previous work. They wanted to speak about mass consumerism and the gender roles that follow suit. Images of war, terrorism and the games we as american play with ourselves to deny the truth are explored through live-action 35 and complex stop-motion animation and composites. We dare you to forget what you see.

Nickelodeon came to us to bring Zizzle’ s Spotz Maker to their audience for the holiday season. We recreated the spotz in 3D and spent a day bopping around a girl’s bedroom and greenscreen in one the most fun shoot days we’ve ever experienced. Let’s just say that we all got in touch with our inner teen girl… jumped on a trampoline and everything.

As part of our ongoing agency service for Orbitz, we created this tv spot to promote the charity auction microsite that we maintain for them as well as their involvement with Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Tour. We shot Cyndi and composited the charity gfx to make an exciting spot, which truly benefits some great causes.

Through the agency Hothouse, we were asked to make some affiliate noise to connect the G4 gamer to broadband services. Our pitch was to show the results on some favorite archetypal heros of gaming, who’s players didn’t have broadband. Adam Mortimer directed this spot, which still cracks us up… and really does the work of messaging to the demo.

The same agency, Hothouse, brought us in again to deliver a “bundle” message for G4’s affiliate efforts. Targeting the elusive, and yet personal demo, of the 18-34 guy, we used some cool 3D representations of what one can get when they have high-speed, high-def households. The spots were a big success.

Toon Disney asked us to rebrand their afternoon block. Try to connect known properties in a new, and current way, as well as drive shows more towards their jetix target demo. Rendering 2D characters in a 3D-style helped both create a dynamic game console environment, and also reimagine the lives of often-static characters.

The N, and its client Kotex, were looking to reach teen girls and give them a chance to win the prom dress of their dreams, in an authentic but exciting way. We created a unique look, drawing from familiar and target teen fashion rags. The response was incredible and an overwhelming number of sweeps entries proved the success of our spot in reaching the demo.

Nickelodeon was ready to relaunch their TeeNick block, and BT created a new look for the brand, and launched some of the most successful live-action properties-to-date. The incredibly breakthrough design of this block has gone on to be copied by lots of other firms and brands. Part of this relaunch included the incredibly popular Drake and Josh music video.

Nickelodeon was looking to reposition chalkzone, as a fresher quantity, as they launched the newest season. The success in achieving that goal was nothing short of remarkable. Ratings more than doubled from kids who picked up on this new way of looking at something known.

OK. The idea was simple, but brilliant I think.At Nick, we wanted to really build buzz about the launch of Drake and Josh (the first new live action show for Nick in a long while.)So, we took the show’s theme song and shot a music video we could air run-of-schedule. The tweens went bananas and the show was the highest-rated show launch for Nick, ever.Special shout-out to my producer at Nick, Greg– who really put so much into this and to our director Joey. And to the video techs on-set in LA who spent two days rigging our screens and cameras to make this work in the time frame of our actual shooting. And, of course, to Niels, who is just the coolest human being ever… which obviously makes for the greatest boss.

Francine directed this new take on the open of Saturday Night Fever, for Nickelodeon, and pop culture’s newest Travolta, Lil’ Romeo. Shot on the streets of LA, the tease created tons of buzz for the new show, which quickly became the number one show for African-American viewers 2-12.
