College Humor - Dad's New Phone


Here's the first of two more videos we recently animated for College Humor!

This animation is part of a series CH calls their IRL Files (In Real Life). Basically, we are given the voiceover of a character telling his story, and it’s up to us to design and animate the piece. This first one is called, Parents Just Don't Understand: Dad's New Phone, and is about what happens when a parent gets their hands on a smart phone. I’ll follow up and post the second video next week!

2A! designed and animated this short in Flash, with Snark Rocket producing!

College Humor - Pocahontas Spoof


Here’s another intoxicating College Humor animation!

This time College Humor spoofs the amazing “Colors of the Wind” song from Disney’s Pocahontas. Their question… “What if, instead of the miracles of nature, Pocahontas introduced John Smith to weed?”

2A! animated this short in Flash, with our pals at Snark Rocket once again producing!

"When Santa Got Sick" iPad App


2A! helps spread some holiday cheer!

We were recently asked to create some fun illustrations for a new iPad app called, When Santa Got Sick! The app, which is currently available at the iTunes store, is an interactive storybook written by Greg Perkins, that tells the tale of what happened when Santa was too sick to deliver presents one Christmas Eve.

2A! designed the characters and penciled the illustrations, while the final pages were painted by the gang at Burton Design Group (who also produced the app). Check out some of our work below, then head over to iTunes to download the app for yourselves!

Here is the approved line-up of our designs for Santa and his elves.



Below is one of our favorite pages, including both the rough layout and tightened character pencils.




We'll try to follow-up with some more of our favorite images tomorrow. =)
