Making It | Season 2 Teaser
Creative Direction, Concept Development & Design

For the sophomore season of Making It, we built on the creative, whimsical nature of the show to create a world that was both crafted and practical.  Forests of paper trees and running streams of shimmering cellophane set the stage for a crafty campfire and marshmallow toasting.  Hand-crafted puppets (done by the director himself), and a playful dragon brought to life help to shape the wonderfully warm story being to by Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler.  The crafting of the spot seamlessly takes you in and out of practical and CG/VFX while telling a story based in imagination and reality.  As creatives, projects like this one offer us the opportunity to spread our wings and have fun and that's when the magic happens!
