Happy new year!
It's been far too long but I've not forgotten you kiddies. So...what has Mr. Jensen's eccentric little mind been up to in the midst of his inexcusable absence? Well lemme tell ya - Redid the blog layout as it needed an update in design/color/whathaveyou. Hope you like. Art Directed an advertising campaign for Whirly Pops. And what are Whirly Pops you ask? If you've been to Disneyland in the last fifty years Whirly Pops are the ginormous suckers you buy that take 12 hours to eat. We had to research the product, devise a campaign and execute it across print, web and television. A fun project to be a part of for sure as not only did we tour the secret LA facility where Whirly Pops are created, but we got to eat a ton of free candy in the process! Ahh the perks of the biz. The print concepts mirrored famous artist styles, in this case Van Gogh and Warhol.
To accompany our Whirly "Pop Art" we shot the commercial in a live gallery in Pasadena. I ended up playing the part of Harold the stodgy art buyer (along with a rather beautiful costar). Behind us you can just make out a fully painted Whirly Pop.
Got some more visual enjoyment comin' atcha so be back soon! ~ T
