1 Trick Pony

Sometimes you’re in between projects waiting on the next one to come in and just feel like doing something that makes you laugh. And sometimes you also happen to have a 2-man horse costume handy. While I was at 1 Trick Pony, the 2-man horse costume - Milt - was the official mascot. And I felt we had a fun opportunity to make him more of a member of our office. So we shot a few videos of Milt being Milt. Just because. The first one ended up being used as a “looking for new talent” video.

Here’s another self-promo video series we did while at 1 Trick Pony. For this year’s alcoholidays promotion, we had some fun creating buzz worthy content to get people to engage with the alcoholidays site and just be pumped about getting more free booze.

Virgin Hotels Chicago

To create more buzz about the brilliant chambers in the Virgin Hotel Chicago, we created a game that took place over a few days. We captured all kinds of unexpected antics that happen in the chambers at the hotel and aired them for several hours each day. Spies, tantrums, levitation, moving towels, and even Sir Richard Branson, um, stealing? Fans and followers had to watch throughout the day and tweet what they saw for prizes. Here are short recaps of some of captured footage.

Field of Dreams

1 Trick Pony has helped the Field of Dreams program for a few years with sponsoring, design work, and having some of the staff volunteer too. They asked me to photograph these awesome kids to be put on baseball cards. I went a step further and turned this regular shoot into something more stylized and bigger. The kids loved seeing the lights and feeling big time. The parents loved seeing the joy on their faces. These ended up on the site, baseball cards, and turned into huge posters hanging around the stadium. Here are a few of the shots.
