Made for presentation at the Super Bowl and for promotions on the internet, this thirty second spot teases Reebok’s new product, Zigtech. It features Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jaguars, Brandon Marshall of the Broncos, Santonio Holmes of the Steelers and Vince Wilfork of the Patriots. The project was produced by MachineHero and directed by MachineHero’s Barnaby Jackson. Animal’s team shot the project on location in Florida. Editing, animation, visual effects and sound design were handled by artists at Animal’s studio. This project is the first of many MachineHero/Animal creative collaborations with the Reebok team to be released in 2010-2011.

Congratulations to our friends Brendan Schwartz and Chris Savage, Co-Founders of Wistia Inc, for ranking among finalists in Business Week’s America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs.

Wistia has been an indispensable “secret weapon” for us here at Animal. We can say with confidence that it is one of the coolest tools out there for collaborating on digital media projects and for delivering measurable video experiences. We have been working with these guys first hand over the last five years and are proud as hell to see them featured as some of America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs.
