Major League Baseball
David Klinkowize, Senior Compositor at CreativeGroup.TV contacted ERA404 about collaborating on the concepting, design and execution of the Major League Baseball packaging for ESPN. The project consisted of heavily art-directed metropolitan imagery, rendered as high-resolution stills for animation and composite in Autodesk Smoke.
The campaign also featured a custom billboard element for projecting tune-in, sponsor logos, and team names. Imagery was also used in a 2-page full color spread in ESPN magazine, to announce the graphic campaign and baseball season.
Irwin Entertainment
ERA404 worked with Gary Keenan (of CreativeGroup.tv) and John Irwin, President and CEO of Irwin Entertainment, to design and execute the NYC-based production company’s hero logo animation.
“Electronic Theatre Presents” Promotion
As “The Electronic Theatre Presents” began to emerge on television in major cities across the country, venues requested a 30s spot to promote the show and it’s time slot. The result was a visit to a surreal movie theatre on a gloomy night to watch highlights of ETP productions and work the Jujubes out of your teeth.
Camp Jeep
ERA404 3D Artists worked with Gary Keenan, designer/art director of CreativeGroup.TV, to animate a stylized rugged outdoors for Jeep’s CAMP JEEP campaign.
