"Let Me Be Your Camera" - Understanding AD/HD

2A! helps raise awareness about AD/HD with a new video titled, "Let Me Be Your Camera." 

AD/HD, or Attention – Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, is a serious condition that affects millions of children and adults all over the world.  Mike and Lori Perkins are the parents of one such child and, both being educators, decided to help by co-authoring a book on the subject.  They then asked us to help promote the book with a fun, educational animation. The goal is to help create a better understanding of AD/HD so those dealing with it can become more successful at home, at school, and at work.

2A! designed and animated the short in Flash.  It was written by Mike and Lori Perkins and is based on lessons found in their book, "Empowering Teens & Pre-teens with AD/HD to Succeed Not Just Survive."

Development: Southside Shaolin!

2A! practices the ancient art of the Southside Shaolin!

Our friends at Wandering Eye Pictures asked us to help them develop a look for one of their properties, called Southside Shaolin.  We created the artwork, including character and background designs, as well as designing a pitch package for the property.  The image above is the cover to that package. The image below is a line-up of some of the characters.



We went through a slew of concept sketches, primarily of the main character Lulu, before we settled on the final designs. We'll share some of those in a future post...

Big F*ckin’ Chicken! (PG-13)

2A! serves up deep-fried adult humor with a side of massive, mutant chicken mayhem!

Big F*ckin’ Chicken (BFC) might be the world’s first fried chicken superhero. In the tradition of Voltron, five pieces of fried chicken transform into a single, giant chicken that protects humans from the evil “Friendly Farms Corporation” and their genetically modified foods. BFC’s motto… “We do human rights!”

2A! animated this Flash short for BFC creators Dan and Vivian Lee. It was recently accepted into the 2012 Hollywood Film Festival!

Concept Designs: Whac-A-Mold Game!

Here are some concepts we created for a proposed game called, “Whac-A-Mold!”

As you can guess from the title, it was intended to be a Whac-A-Mole-type game, but instead of whacking moles you’d be whacking mold. Boom! The point of the game was to educate players about the different types of molds that could grow in their homes, and how to treat the problem. The final game never came to fruition, but we thought these designs were too fun not to share. And who knows… maybe one day we’ll get to actually whack these little guys!
