Electric Gridiron Classics

Wednesday, January 24, 2007

A few weeks ago I recreated some of the most famous moments in football history for The Green Bay Packers, Inc. along with the Super Bowl XXXI short we made for their TV show. The images also found there way on Cheese and Packers.com.

To give you an example of some of the recreations we put together, here is an image from the famous "ICE BOWL" game.




































Here is some background on the world famous "Ice Bowl" game.

The 1967 National Football League Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys was the 35th championship game in NFL history. Popularly known as the Ice Bowl, it is widely considered one of the greatest games in NFL history, due to the extremely hostile conditions it was played in, the importance of the game and of the rivalry between the two teams, and the dramatic conclusion.

Yeah, football! If you wanna read more about that amazing game, then go here.

In Conclusion

Sunday, January 14, 2007

I just put the Super Bowl MVP spot that we did for the Packers on YouTube. You can watch it right here if you feel like it.


Or you can go to the Packers site and see the short on the show that it aired on, GTV. The link is here, and the episode number is 16. If you don't feel like watching a bunch of football stuff, you can forward ahead 20 minutes and watch it at the exact spot. There, you got options. Just like John Harvatine III says, "Americans love options".

It's Played Out-Packer Update

Sunday, January 07, 2007

Last week the Packer short aired on Fox in Wisconsin, which my cousins were able to confirm. Thanks for that update Wisconsin Harvatines. I'm working on getting a copy of that, but for those who have no patience no fear. I'm putting the short up this week for everyones enjoyment.

The Biggest and most Bestest Stop-Motion Studio In The World Ever

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

No, I'm not talking about Make Out City Studios, I'm talking about Cuppa Coffee. Okay, they may not be the masters of the universe, but they are the biggest. Here is an article proving that size does matter in the stop-motion world.

Here is a sample from the article if you are too lazy to click a button.

"Owner/exec producer Adam Shaheen acquired the 45,000-square-foot property to accommodate the ever-growing needs of an impressive production roster. "We currently employ more than 250 talented artists, directors, animators, builders and production crew," explains Shaheen. "This move will provide us with the space we need and also leave us some room to grow." The Partners' production offices will remain as tenants in part of the building for the next year while their equipment rental division is relocated to a larger facility."

They are also the ones that are producing Starveillance for E!, which I have suspected but now I have the proof!

Here is what Cuppa Coffee has to say about their show:

"This new half-hour series provides a fly-on-the-wall look at real and imagined events in the secret lives of celebrities. How did Demi and Ashton first date go down? Why did Brad and Angelina choose Namibia for the birthplace of their love-child? What was it like in the maternity ward with Tom and Katie, and what was Brooke Shields doing there? Find out all this and more when Starveillance debuts on E! Entertainment Television in January 2007!"

Instead of hearing what I really think about the show, just look at a clip here and you can come up with your own conclusion.
