Discovery Communications: Holiday Card 2011

Over November, while balancing Spy vs. Spy animation for Buddy Systems and directing a live action music video (coming soon...), I squeezed in one more job; helping Discovery Communications with the animation for their corporate holiday card! It was a fun job, too.

They wanted an origami look that would work in iconography for several of the major channels in the Discovery family; Discovery Channel (shark), TLC (cupcake), Science Channel (rocket), ID (magnifying lens), and Animal Planet (lion). Finally, they form a dove and then a troop of doves, signifying peace for the new year. (Yes, I looked up the technical term for a grouping of doves.) Origami paper art designed and crafted by Emily Franz, Melissa Bloom, and Robyn Yannoukos. Lighting by Jeff Gardner. Studio space provided by my buddies at Buddy System Studios.
