29th Annual Telly Award Winners

“The Flimpsons” was the tongue in cheek code name given to the project featuring clips from the Simpsons in a familiar “modern stone-age family” cartoon style.  Old Youtube clips were carefully studied and stylistically replicated to lend the color, texture and feel to a new cartoon family on the block.  New illustrations using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (for texture) were made in homage to the original.  A 3D stone-age television was made using Cinema 4D with a hairy water buffalo hat antenna to frame the standard definition clips.  Clips were extensively researched to pull material for the promo.  You may notice the TV was rendered from the back view in one clip and composited over Simpsons peering fearfully over the couch.  Explosion and prehistoric living room were created in Illustrator and all animated in After Effects.
