SECRET AGENTS – INTRO VIDEO

AGENT 098 Buck Naked – The Streaker

Avoided by athletes. Feared by security. Adored by fans who don’t want the game to end. Agent #098 calls his own plays when he takes the field. The game ain’t over until someone can tackle the extra-lubed, surprisingly agile, naked dude in knee-high tube socks.

AGENT #024 Betty Royale – The Cheerleader

Anything but your typical pom-pom shaker, the “B” on her uniform stands for “beat down.” When she gets the call, Agent #024 ditches the spirit fingers for something a little more her style: tossing cheermates in front of linebackers.

AGENT 325 – Mr Go Nuts – Mascot

Like any good mascot, he pumps up the crowd. But Agent #325 prefers to pump his mega-charged, super co2 with automatic action t-shirt gun. He’ll steal the show and any chance of the game ending. Call in Mr. Go Nuts so you don’t have to go home.

AGENT #140 Señor Crash – The Parachute Guy

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s an out-of-control parachutist heading right for the line of scrimmage! His jumps are impeccably timed and his crash landings always on the mark. Agent #140 is ready to break a pelvis so you don’t have to break up the party.

AGENT #085 Frank Flinger – The Hot Dog Guy

A marksman. A ninja. A stickler for all beef. Agent #085 throws wieners with amazing precision and squirts condiments when and where you least expect it – all to serve up a tasty treat: extra overtime.

Agency – BBDO NY/ATL

We created this idea called SaveScout.org to help “Scout” (a monster from the Monster Plantation ride at Six Flags Over Georgia that’s being sold to the highest bidder on ebay) find a new place to call home. After almost 30 years of scaring people, this monster is out of a job. But that doesn’t mean he is out of friends. This ride means a lot to so many people here in Atlanta. Its just our way of keeping the memories alive. Marsh Ridin’!

I found that graphics on the white tee’s turned out the best. You can see more here: http://www.zazzle.com/rickhillart

Enjoy!

They were told to design their own paddle for the show, doing whatever they wanted. We then rented a space in town to display all of the artwork, threw a huge party and held a silent auction for the paddles. All the proceeds went to Atlanta’s AFLAC Children’s Cancer Center.

In the end, we raised $5,000. Amazing.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and to DJ Dirty Digits and the Burn Unit for taking the event to the next level.

I got the chance to create some characters for this really fun project for Toyota’s Yaris Onyx car. The characters lived on posters in the dealership and in banners online. Here’s some samples of the characters.

The first five showdown battles could be seen on GameTap.com and showdowncrown.com. An integrated campaign consisting of tv spots, wild postings, banner ads and blog postings helped to drive viewers to the site. Showdowncrown.com received 800,000 hits in the first 48 hours.

Battles to come:
Coffing vs Urn
Bubble Gum vs Mint
Fake vs Real

“SKATER vs BLADER”

“BOXERS vs BRIEFS”

“1-PIECE vs 2-PIECE”

“PITFALL”

The Characters:
• 3-Dee – A 128-bit character built for destruction but born with gimp legs.
• Mega-Pixel – An 8-bit character with limited movement and no real skills.

The World:
It’s video game world so anything goes. The choppiness of 2-bit design is mixed with the realism of a PS3 game. Trees on the same street could look completely different simply because they’re from different video game eras. Buildings have faces and cars explode then reappear. It’s all perfectly acceptable in video game world.

The concept, story and characters are all written and designed by BergerHill. The animation is by Scott Benson of Crash Studios.

EPISODE 1 – “SICK WEAPONS”

EPISODE 2 – “DIZZY DEATH GRIP”
