Early in the pandemic CBS brought back the Sunday Night Movie, showcasing a selection of iconic blockbusters! Of course, we saw this as an opportunity to tie the Good Day cast into these pop culture hits! But with strict social distancing rules in place, talent shoots were a no-go.

Animation to the rescue!

With audio recorded on phones and sent by email, I worked feverishly at home to create a cartoon campaign promoting each of the five movies. It was a whirlwind of work, but showed just what we could accomplish working remotely.

Campaign utilizes original artwork combined with modified Getty stock images.

My animated work is loaded with illustration, but here are a few examples of illustration that holds still. 

Just as in my television work I try to mix up the style from project to project.

What began as a single animated commercial has evolved with the client into a long running staple on local airwaves! This animated campaign merges original illustrations with Getty stock images to create a colorful cartoon look that packa a punch!

Waking up to our Good Day morning show is a lot like getting up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. So for Halloween, that's exactly what we did.

The cartoon stars the main Good Day cast as well as a surprise cameo from a viewer favorite. Halloween Haunt ran as both a ninety-second "Special" within the show and as a sixty-second spot that ran throughout the day.

Good Day has never been your typical morning show so when launching a new look we wanted an open that captured the lively animated spirit of the show. 

Designed as a "living open" the components can be quickly revised to incorporate seasonal or trending elements.

Good Day viewers are some of the most interactive fans around, so we helped them count down to Christmas with a set of print-and-cut holiday ornaments starring the cast and characters from the animated show open! Each day, a new ornament was revealed on the show, driving viewers to our social media. Some fans even sent in photos of their Christas trees decked out in Good Day decorations!
