This is the animated logo at the end of the new television show, Mr. Sunshine. Think "Sit, Ubu. Sit." or "Bad Robot!!" You can see it better quality at http://vimeo.com/20228001 A few months ago I got a call from my friend Matt Davis asking if I would maybe, possibly be somewhat interested in considering working on a logo like that for Matthew Perry. I jumped at the chance. The company is called Anhedonia Productions, and you're probably wondering what in the world "Anhedonia" means.

I worked with Andy Erekson and Marcelo Vignali (and his daughter) to come up with a list of 50 ideas of what this logo could be within the theme that Perry had already set up. I boarded out 7 of those ideas and created 3 animated beta tests. Here are some of my favorites... For exploration: Face on Jumbotron Rodeo Christmas tre...

Cool man. Can you hide the curve that shows up on the last shot? Also, seems like he falls too fast at the end, makes the end feel too abrupt.
You're the camera wizard, but just maybe some things to try? I'm not good at camera, but maybe hold the shot where he first starts and disappears from camera felt like I wanted that to hold a tad longer before the cut.
The camera shake was cool, also seemed to cut a little abrupt right after the shake.
I liked the camera on the swirly-do.
my two cents.
...I think that it would be great to see some of this kind of stuff but with a short story idea, maybe with more "character"...
Rip it apart!
