A few weeks back, Cartoon Network aired their special “Lego Atlantis.” It was a great show, and in case you can download it or get the DVD, we wanted to post link to their Facebook page. CN and Lego have had a partnership for a couple years. I read in a press release:
In October 2008, Cartoon Network featured an exclusive BIONICLE® on-air video and an exclusive online game at CartoonNetwork.com to promote the toy line at the start of the holiday shopping season. LEGO Group has also premiered two exclusive mini movies – LEGO Indiana Jones™ and the Raiders of the Lost Brick and STAR WARS™ Revenge of the Brick – as commercial events on the network while also creating custom games on CartoonNetwork.com, all supported by on-air promos.
We worked with the Cartoon Network team and were happy to see that they had a great response.

iCarly Teaser - design/animation by Click 3X Entertainment from Connor Swegle on Vimeo.
It’s not easy, what we do. Sometimes we have to work in some pretty crazy places. Recently we had to shoot in our own nightmares. This time, when working with Nickelodeon on iCarly’s special iSpaceOut, we actually went to space with Laika the dog and three Soviet cosmonauts (grip, gaffer, and sound tech), to pull off a shoot. It was great. Craft service had tang and astronaut ice cream. PERKS!

Discovery Construction Intervention Promo - Live Action, Design, Edit, Animation by Click 3X from Connor Swegle on Vimeo.
Charlie Frattini has a loud mouth, killer work ethic, a wealth of construction experience and a heart of gold. All of them come together in Discovery’s new show “Construction Intervention” where Frattini works with independent business owners who have been victims of botched renovations and gets them back on track.
We worked with the Discovery Marketing team on the project, starting with a quirky Wes Anderson-inspired concept where all of the action of a renovation could come together in a dynamic one-shot. As time went on, however, the big idea didn’t fit in with the fact that what Charlie does makes a huge impact on the business owners, so the promo was tweaked to really feature Charlie in action.
We shot with Charlie and the Discovery team throughout Manhattan- the place where he leads many of his builds, and where he has worked on massive renovations. We were on the Brooklyn Bridge, down in Tribeca, up in Harlem and even over in Long Island City where we shot the final hero take. Charlie, even though it is his first show, is an ace talent, and takes his true skills and passions and brings them to the TV. We even hung out with Charlie and he is a great guy.
Everyone tune in.

Freddy is Back. This time, the famous role made famous by Robert Englund, is now played by former Watchman and Bad News Bears star Jackie Earle Haley. After working with MTV last year on the Star Trek launch interruptions we worked with some of the same team to do the same for the newest installation of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”
Taking some of the lessons learned from Trek, we were able to build out modular pieces, each focusing on different elements of the film that would be seamlessly integrated into an existing promo, shocking the viewer and drawing their attention to a trailer for the upcoming film. The interruptions are hidden on air, and viewers need to keep a sharp eye to find them. Some of the interruptions were created in 2D/3D, and one in particular was shot in our space here at Click 3X. You can see the photos below.
Give a call or shoot an email with any questions.

Bloomberg decided to take their number crunching geniuses and finally focus on something that matters: saving the market SPORTS! Bloomberg Sports launched last week and enables fantasy sports managers to get the most out of the statistics to win their leagues. There isn’t enough buzz on it just yet, which is why we created these sizzles that live online, but there is a cool example of using the tool to compare pitchers entering arbitration.
