Feb 22nd
Here’s a TV spot for a local plumbing company . Aloe Design created all the character animation, particle effects, sound effects and compositing.
Clean ? Coal
Jul 8th
The coal industry has spent millions of dollars on ad campaigns trying to change Americans’ perceptions over dirty coal. The ads have attempted to whitewash, or “greenwash,” coal using the oxymoron “clean” for one of the greatest source of pollution of our air, water and land.
Animated to the tune “Honestly Sincere,” this video shows a chunk of Coal trying to clean up his image by covering himself with green paint, but everywhere he goes he wreaks havoc: literally leaving carbon footprints, exuding coal dust, dirtying streams, heating up the atmosphere, causing air pollution, and in the end, destroying wildlife, and decimating an entire mountain top. There is nothing about Coal that is clean- and the coal industries’ ads are anything but “Honestly Sincere.”

Construction Accident Recreation
Apr 29th
This animation was created by Aloe Design for court case use. The video depicts a freshly set concrete structure having structural failure under its own weight. The structure had “crane lift anchors” placed too close to the edge of the structure (where it shows 6.5″ mark). This caused the concrete to break when too much load was placed on the anchors. It then fell and damaged the operator. The concrete was animated by a custom physics simulation which was created to match eyewitness accounts.

AOL Comedy Festival
Mar 17th
A promotion for an online comedy festival. The only pre-existing assets were very low-quality viral videos and stand-up performances from the internet. Aloe Design created all of the animation and graphics, as well as shot and keyed the hand that inserts the comedians’ heads. The audio design is by Clayton Turner. This piece won a 2006 Promax Gold award as well as a 2005 Telly in the Entertainment/Comedy promotion category.

Explorer
Feb 17th
Aloe Design created and animated the 3D goldfish in this piece. While the starring fish is completely computer-generated, the fish extras are (were) real. The CG was done in Maya: a low poly mesh with some dynamics for the secondary motion. The motion graphics design, concept, and real fish wrangling were done by Nick Ziepprecht, and audio design was by Clayton Turner. This piece won a Promax Gold in 2006 as well as two Telly awards in 2005.
