New York Life, Kid Cudi and Purina in Ten Days

Feb 6

Whoooooo! Let me tell you. After the last few weeks, I’m ready for a few quiet hours.

I had the pleasure of kicking things off with Tiger House Films, working on a commercial for New York Life. Sue Oneto and Chad Ellis rounded out an excellent team. Together, we fit five scenes with multiple looks and setups into one house in Venice. Then, the next day, we created another six scenes spread of a university campus in Burbank into a single day. With so many moving parts, working with a supportive crew and clients like Jason Kent Carpenter and Justin Bell was excellent.

Our next commercial was arranged by our friend Josh Harris for 4th Wall Entertainment for Purina. While I can’t say much about this one yet, Sue and I enjoyed watching all those animal actors at work.

And in the middle of all that, FTB.Design produced, fabricated, and ran the launch party for Moon Man, a new comic series from Image Comics created by Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Kyle Higgins and featuring a cover created by our friend Tristan Eaton for the event.

It was great to be back on set in 2024. I’m hopeful to keep that momentum moving, so if you need production design or event production, be sure to hit me up.
