Hinge Digital Creates Digital Mouse for Brightwood
Posted by hingedigital in Animation, Industry News, Latest News, Latest Work, Visual Effects on February 7, 2012

For Hinge Digital, creating the visual effects for Brightwood was a chance to bring Hollywood-caliber visual effects to an independent locally produced short film. Combining themes of childhood innocence and the search for home and family, the film juxtaposes a young girl’s real and imaginary lives. The film veterans at Hinge Digital helped bridge the gap between reality and fantasy.

A day in the life… Job Shadow @ Hinge by Marc Leuschner
Posted by hingedigital in Industry News, Latest News on August 25, 2011

Hinge Shadow Program
Did you know what your career path would be in high school? I know that I didn’t. At the time, I was determined to become a famous Hollywood actor, complete with fast car, posh house, fame, and paparazzi entourage.
Not a lot of forethought went into that decision. I didn’t know the statistics of breaking into the Hollywood Scene. And even if by some twist of fate my impressive talents were discovered, I had no idea what it took to become a Hollywood actor: Finding the right agent, the long hours of patiently waiting on the set, the months of character study and rote memorization. My decision was not very well informed.
Some of our favorite spots this year!

Challenge:
We collaborated with Zimmerman to take the successful Pep Boys bobble heads campaign to new levels of brand development.
Solution:
We developed a spot to showcase the next step in the campaign’s evolution by integrating the animated CG characters into our live-action world. We stayed true to the design of these iconic characters and their physicality as bobble heads, while introducing a new dimension of storytelling freedom through CG animation.
