Some videos I created, along with Ken Berman and Marcus Lehmann, won an ADDY award. The ADDY® Awards are the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, recognizing and rewarding creative excellence in the art of advertising.This is one of three puppet segments we created for 14 Hands Agency for the launch of their website. Each clip is being used to introduce each member of their advertising/marketing team.

This one features Marc Cozza, the creative director of the company. The audio interview was edited by them and provided to us, and we created images to accompany it:
