Bright House Pops Up

Orlando based Ad Agency, Fry Hammond Barr had returned to Blind with a four-spot campaign for Bright House Networks. The campaign was designed to promote the Bright House ‘€œbundle’€ services of HD digital cable, high-speed internet and digital phone. Our challenge was to depict these bundles in a unique and visually engaging way.

Blind Brings It All Together For Walgreens

Blind executed a fun and elegant four-spot campaign for Walgreens in a recent collaboration with Downtown Partners. Beautifully rendered Walgreens products join together in a variety of settings, forming iconic home and holiday-themed images, while reinforcing Walgreens’ reputation as the place to go for affordable essentials.

We’ve Moved!

It didn’t take long (2.5 years), but we outgrew our space on 1728 Olympic Blvd. and moved all the way across the alley to 1702 Olympic Blvd. Big change! With the increased space, designers and clients will have a little more elbow room to get work done. Expect the same people and work, just not in the same seat. The front entry isn’t operational, but those are minor details right?

Stop by to say hi or if you’re just curious. Please note the new address when coming by to visit or when you’re dropping off a reel or package. When the dust clears, look for new photos of the studio. Here are a few pics of the space (still a work in progress).

Nip/Tuck

In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve decided to do a little spring cleaning and tidy up the site for a more streamlined look. The goal was to make the site faster and reduce the amount of scrolling needed to view content. A few new sidebar elements have been added as well, including: At Random (from our Archives), Branding Montage, Updated, Popular and Recent Comments.

Be sure to clear your cache from time to time so that you can see the updates.

Blind Does The Bunny Hop

It’s safe to say that Blind is suffering from a serious case of sugar shock, having just completed a second sweet spot for Walgreens! In this Easter world, populated by Peeps and flowing with fruity jelly beans, a chocolate bunny reigns atop a bright basket, woven from packages of Easter candy, surrounded by an array of Easter toys who happily hop in to join him!

Speaking Eng

We’re stoked to welcome Richard Eng to our New York office, where he will serve as Creative Director. “Smart, elegant and playful” are words used to describe Richard’s body of work in commercials and broadcast, which has brought in impressive awards including: IGA, Creativity, BDA, Promax, Telly Awards and The One Show honors.

Blind and DIRECTV Sculpt a New Way to Watch TV

DIRECTV’s In-house creative team approached Blind with a unique opportunity to help develop and conceptualize a series of TV spots to promote DTV’s Channel Mix. Their ultimate task come up with a unique visual metaphor to demonstrate the difference between watching television with and without DIRECTV’s Channel Mix.

Jesse James is a Dead Man

Each week Jesse James is a Dead Man will feature Jesse James preparing for and then taking place in death-defying events, such as competing in the Baja 500 off-road race, speeding at more than 200 mph on a nitro-charged motorcycle or driving a monster truck over a house.

Check out the 30 second launch promo, the original tease promo and some network ID’s featuring Jesse attacking the Spike logo here and then tune into Spike on Sunday, May 31st for the premier of the show.

Green With Envy

Last Saturday, 5 teams gathered at Blind for their shot at claiming the Halo 3 Championship title. After some intense gameplay, screaming and trash talking, Team Legz (Reza, Casey, Greg and Dylan) fell a little short of their dream of getting a ‘Perfection’, and instead, was the first team eliminated from round robin play. The bracket was set: it would be Team Blind (Chris D., Thai, Aaron and Anthony) vs. Team Neo (Mitch, Sunni, James and Brian), with Team FTW a.k.a For The Win (Brian, Erik, Riel and Chris P.) vs. Team Born (Matthew, Jiaren, Joseph and Gus). In bracket one, Team Blind took advantage of the newly formed Team Neo and won straight sets to advance into the semi-finals. In bracket two, Team FTW quickly dispatched Team Born, sending them into contention against Team Neo for the Bronze. A crowd formed to watch the ensuing battle. After the smoke cleared, it was Team Neo that snatched 3rd place.

The House That Walgreens Built

In a recent feat of speed, skill and creativity, the Blind team created a charming spot for Walgreen’s in a remarkably short period of time! With just 9 days in the production schedule to design, build-out and animate the spot, CD Vanessa Marzaroli led her team to victory, shattering the previous records for abbreviated production schedules held by “Crazy” for Gnarls Barkeley and “LoveStoned” for Justin Timberlake.
