And now for something completely different…

We don’t often have the opportunity to do a completely outside the box project here at Groovy.  While we always work hard to be creative and tell good stories for our clients, we are constrained by the project’s audience, the objective, and the “think, feel, do” of the project.  This one was different.  We were asked to help the San Diego Blood Bank decorate golf holes for their 2011 Transylvania Classic Golf Classic Tournament.  Their one and only requirement? Make it fun. So we did!

BIG thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success – especially the team at Titan Arts who brought a lot of humor and hard work to this short film.

Principal photography was on our RED One with second unit photography on our 5D MK II.  The project was written on Wednesday, shot on Thursday, edited on Friday, shown on Saturday.

We had the extreme pleasure of hosting the Twisted Metal team as they shot in our studio. The project has been a little hush-hush, but since they showed this video at Comic-Con, I think it’s safe to let a little bit of the cat out of the bag. It was an intense run of nearly two weeks, with characters from the Twisted Metal universe walking around our studio. The entire team was incredible to work with, and I hope they come back again soon!

I’m on the board of directors for SAFE – The San Diego Advertising Fund for Emergencies. SAFE is a volunteer, non-profit organization (501c3) dedicated to providing financial aid in life crisis situations to members of the San Diego County advertising and marketing community and their families. If you have been employed in the San Diego advertising industry (or one of the supporting industries like printing, graphic design, promotional products, etc) for a continuous period of three years and not absent from the field for more than one year, and you find yourself in a life crisis, you can apply for financial assistance from SAFE.

This is a project we produced for them to highlight one of their success stories.
