Icograda Design Week 2010
April 9th, 2010
By now, this is sooooo last week, but we wanted to show-and-tell a project we worked on with Rethink Communications to promote the upcoming Vancouver Design Week. It started with a great concept and a lovely set of graphics designed by the Rethink creative team, which we (with Todd Smith) animated into a 2200 frame video. We then printed those 2200+ frames onto custom bills and filmed them at high speed, 10 at a time, rifling through a currency counter. The end result is a really cool flipbook-style video that we all had a blast putting together.
Don’t miss the conference. It will be worth it.
Trevor Linden + Clearly Contacts
April 8th, 2010
If you’re like me, and if you’re from Vancouver, you watched Trevor Linden captain the Canucks through some pretty awesome times, including the infamous ‘94 playoff run. Needless to say, we were excited, honoured and charmed to work with Clearly Contacts to write, produce and direct this television spot featuring Trevor and his pair of magic (yet inexpensive!) glasses. Thanks to Faction Creative for bringing them to life.
Stand by for the outtakes!
PBS + Memelabs + GAM = Fun!
February 28th, 2010
Not too long ago we got a call from Memelabs, Vancouver-based video contest platform. They were putting together a contest for PBS to promote all of the exciting, new digital media experiences they’re offering.
We were engaged to work with the Memelabs and the PBS creative teams to produce the seeder video. After a number of story iterations, we landed on a script from the PBS team in which Dick, a private detective, acts as reluctant spokesperson for the contest.
We had a ton of fun art directing and animating the spot. Thanks to our pal, Chad Brealey, for being the face of Dick, and to Ryland Haggis for the great sound design (we liked working with him so much that we talked him into joining Team Ant on a full-time contract to soundify all of the fun stuff we’re working on right now!).
You can also see the spot here in our portfolio in higher res.

We’re looking to add some more brains to our team. Although it might only be one person, we use the plural of “brain” intentionally, because we want you to have lots of ‘em.
·We’re a group of storytellers that use video, motion, interactive, or anything else that we feel best achieves our, and our clients’, goals.
·We’re a group of artists that want to make great work, not just more work.
·We’re pleasant.
If that sounds like you too, send us a link to your reel with some factoids about why you’ll be a good fit.
