THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD



I 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 co-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.

The last one is about a Penguin who’s thinking “There goes the neighborhood”. The german at the end says something like “Neighbors got you down? Maybe it’s time to move…” For all its simplicity, this one is my favorite, particularly the igloo gag at the end.
