“Slothfulness” by John McGowan

Last year, we announced that our lead animator, John McGowan, had been accepted into the 2013 Animation Block Party with his short film, Slothfulness. Back then, we were only able to share a still from the film, but the full short is now available for your viewing pleasure.

Slothfulness has been featured on Laughing Squid and numerous other blogs, including Show Me the Animation, Neatorama, and Cute Overload.

A charming tale of a sloth who just wants to fly, this was John’s 2012 thesis film for UMass Dartmouth. Not only is the story delightful, the characters are adorable and the animation really adds to the humor and charm of the piece. We are lucky to have such a talented animator on our team!

Check out the entire film here:

Planet Nutshell 2014 Year in Review

What a year! Here are some highlights from our best year ever. As I watched these, I felt very proud of the talent and hard work these projects represent. I’m so appreciative of the incredible team we’ve assembled here on Planet Nutshell.

So, without further ado…

General Awesomeness Category

Let’s start with a big one. We created a video that was played on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square to commemorate the IPO of our dear client, Foundation Medicine.

 

 

Business Category

This one is a real gem, and we’ve had a lot of folks ask us, “Hey, can you make us an explainer video like the one you did for WhatsApp?” This one stands as our top video of 2014 for a business/tech client.

 

 

We also love the art style and storytelling in this one for SmartRocket.

 

 

Biotech and Healthcare Category

Our video for Foundation Medicine that explains the unique advantages of their genomic cancer testing protocol is a standout. We’re really proud of the way we synthesized a ton of complex information into an accessible presentation.

 

 

Our video for City of Hope, a leading cancer research and treatment center, was a big win for them, and for us.

 

 

Nonprofit Category

We’ve been making fantastic videos for the Utah Higher Education Authority for a couple of years now, all focused on helping young people save, budget, and plan for the future. Here’s our favorite from this year’s season.

 

 

This video for Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma was a real privilege to work on, and we’re excited about the relationships we’ve formed in the legal aid community.

 

 

Education Category

This wonderful educational short, created with the help of WNET Education in New York, and with funding from NASA (yes, NASA!) is a standout from our huge educational output this year. Gotta love that Rhino!

 

 

We also worked with KET in Kentucky to produce this math tutorial for grade schoolers. The puffins helped vault this one into our list.
