Climate Science in a Nutshell: Complete Series

Over at Planet Nutshell we finally completed our series of 11 videos about Climate Science. We had a blast working on such an important subject matter and hope it shows in our work. This was our second collaboration with KUEN TV in Salt Lake City and it was a pleasure to work with them again. The project was funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Below is episode 1, which is kind of like a trailer for the series. You can view the entire series at Planet Nutshell.

Climate Science in a Nutshell: episode 2

Planet Nutshell has been keeping me very busy over the past few months. We are currently working on a series of 11 videos explaining climate science. This is the first video we have completed and it explains the difference between climate and weather. It also provides an introductory look at Rapid Climate Change.

Style and palette was a major focus for the art department in this series. We took inspiration from magazine ads and illustrations from the 40's, illustrator Charley Harper, and from various approaches being used throughout the explainer video industry. We are very pleased with the final result and hope viewers are too.

The series can also be viewed at PlanetNutshell.com and was funded by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and was produced in collaboration with KUEN TV in Salt Lake City. KUEN has done a great job corralling all the resources and climate experts who have provided guidance for the series.

Climate Science Teaser

This is a teaser clip from a series of videos I am working on for Utah Education Network. The series is all about climate science and is targeted to High School kids.

Graffiti + Stop Motion = Brilliant!

I learned about the artist INSA today, thanks to the internet. This is what he creates. Awesome!

Demo Reels

It had been almost four years since I updated my reel. Man was there a lot of work to go through. I decided it was best to create a "best of" compilation reel and then create individual reels containing full scenes. To view the videos in their full size click HERE or click the word VIMEO in the player.

PS. Does anyone who uses blogger know how to post bigger images and video in their full size without edges being cut off or screwing up the layout of the blog? I tried it once with images but it did wacky stuff with the links on the side. It might be easier to switch to another blogging site like WordPress.

Internet Safety for the Kiddies

I finally wrapped up the Internet Safety project for PBS affiliate Utah Education Network. These explainer videos are for grades K-3, 4-6, and 7-12 and explain, in a nutshell, how to stay safe online.  They cover important topics such as cyber-bullying, sexting, personal information, posting pictures, who to trust and be friends with, and who to talk to when someone or something upsets you.  These topics are extremely important and I had a blast working on them for this reason alone.  Of course, I also had fun drawing and animating.  Below I posted a bunch of drawings I created for the project.  You can view all of the videos over at Nutintuit Studio.

Explaining Dutch Products

I am very excited that I can finally post images and video from three explainer videos I created for Sitecom, a client based out of Rotterdam, Netherlands. We worked really hard to give Sitecom an exclusive and distinctive style to help Sitecom set itself apart from its competitors. I embedded the videos below. You can also view them over at Nutintuit Studio, where they are much larger in size.
