We had the opportunity to work with a great client last month, Rick’s Custom Fencing and Decking hired us to produce five (Donut) spots. Three out of the five are currently running locally in Salem, Vancouver and in the Tri-Cities area in Washington. It was great working with old friends and making some new ones. Enjoy!
Thanks

Inspired by Jamba Juice, the Hinge creative team developed this delicious and fun all-CG spot, featuring cinematic camera moves, dramatic lighting and exploding cosmic fruit, uniquely blended to perfection.
Fruit! In! Space!
After our success creating a foodscape of fruits and vegetables for NVIDIA, our team here at Hinge Digital was inspired by Jamba Juice to create a whole universe of fruit juice. We wanted to build on their existing name recognition, but expand the brand’s appeal to a younger, tech-savvy, science-fiction audience and exploit the natural beauty of both natural fruit textures and outer space.

Earlier this year, Portland, Oregon-based motion graphics studio Cardboard Castle delivered a bumper for the Food Network’s Iron Chef America program. The spot featured a cross-promotion with the 2013 Kia Optima Limited and gave the studio a chance to work not only on the animation, but on the actual creative for the concept, including the copywriting, casting, and overall design. It is now available to view online.
For a more detailed breakdown of the work that went into the piece, check out the Cardboard Castle blog. Continue reading... “Cardboard Castle’s Kia/Iron Chef America Bumper”
