New Noise SB Commercial #1

New Noise SB is Santa Barbara’s answer to South By South West.  The music conference came to us with a VO and a treatment and asked us to produce two seperate 30 second commercials.  We love this project!  We had a lot of fun while both meeting the client’s deadlines and staying within budget.  As a part of the project, we rebuilt the clients logo and applied an audio trigger animation to give it that extra flare.  Client was thrilled with the completed spots, so are we.
