Much has happened since our last blog post… Projects have been completed, birds have migrated south for the winter, and the temperature has dropped about eighty-five degrees. So… it’s been awhile since we’ve posted. We get that. We’ve just been saving up all the good stuff for a really good post. That was the plan all along. You believe me, right??
One of the most exciting things that happened since August was the airing of yet another animated commercial for the Iowa Lottery. Joining Mr. Monopoly on the list of animated icons Grasshorse has brought to life for them was a flock of foam fingers and a couple of football helmets.
The commercial, which aired statewide, was for the “Great State Tailgate” scratch game and promotion. In it, foam fingers and football helmets square off at mid-field, before breaking into scenes to show off the prizes available in the promotion. At one point, a foam finger spins around a custom tailgate trailer with ease. That’s right, folks–if Grasshorse is going to animate foam fingers, it’s going to animate them with superpowers! It was great to work on another project for the Iowa Lottery and The Integer Group. Stay tuned, you never know what kind of commercial Grasshorse is working on next!
Another exciting development is that we have a new member of the Grasshorse team. Her name is Lindsey Pogmore and she’s great at tooting her own horn. Seriously folks, she’s a jazz saxophonist! As a Production Coordinator, you all will get a chance to work with her on your next project with Grasshorse.
There are a couple other projects that are almost done that I’d love to tell you all about… but they’re still super top secret. What’s that? You really-really-really want some hints? I guess you don’t have to twist my arm that hard. We’re finishing up work on not one but TWO feature films, and we’re almost done with a new mobile app. Details are still on the down-low for these projects, but as soon I can, I’ll fill you in!
That’s all for today, ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned until next time. You’ve been a beautiful audience.
