OK, so let’s say you’re Swiss. You’re sitting there, just trying to relax after a long day of, uh, fixing clocks. You’re watching TV and enjoying a fine snack of, uh, chocolate. But was ist? Your favorite programme is interrupted by adverts!?

Yes. You can thank me. As some of you may know, I recently worked on three adverts for the Swiss real estate company Homegate through my friends at the production house Bully Entertainment right here in Charm City (that’s Baltimore to you Swiss…) I wrote the three ads (working off of ideas from the client) drew storyboards, directed the animation, and even built all the environments. The talented artists at Bully built the characters after my original designs, and the talented Stephen Karp animated everything. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Me likey.

What’s that? You want to see the adverts and learn a little bit about how they were created? OK. But you’ll need Quicktime to watch ‘em. See below.
