hallway of hope

Wait no more Wait No More partnered with Vidano Films to create a 2-minute spot that conveyed the deep loneliness and fear so many children experience as they are forced to leave their birth parents. Whatever the reason, it's a frightening journey no child should have to make alone.

VISUAL THEME - A 32 foot hallway was built on a sound stage that acted as the narrative theme and visual story thread, representing the journey a child takes experiencing traumatic experiences that bring them to the point of being pulled away from their birth parents.

DORITO’S VICTORY

DIRECTOR’S CUT - CRASH THE SUPERBOWL Having been defeated by an office colleague, Stanlee turns the tables with the help of a tasty snack. See him get his revenge with #DoritosVictory. Every once in a while we like to take a break to do a pet project. "Doritos Victory" was that project for us. As part of the "Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Ad Contest" Vidano Films, partnered with Bill Herebic, and Jerry Melchisedeck to create a Doritos TV spot that went far beyond the ad itself. In an effort to create a community following we invited people to share their own "victory moments"…big or small.

RISE

ANGEL ARMOR OUR TASK WAS TO capture the essence behind the new RISE tactical vest. The goal was to go beyond the information. It's more than "technology - safety, comfort, mobility, versatility." Our aim was to capture the "why"...the resolve behind the heroes that dawn the vest everyday. RISE - A higher level of body armor protection.
