LooseKeys - Project Recap - Temp Timesheets

Looking to learn a little more about what goes into the projects at LooseKeys?

In this LooseKeys project recap, Brad Chmielewski and Jake Williams talk about designing and animating the explainer video, Tempo Timesheets.  This video was a blast to work on and the team had a great time coming up with the artwork and creating interesting transitions. Because the software is very business focused it was fun to take the video in a more animated and cartoon world that you typically don’t see for this sort of software. 

If you have any other questions about this project, feel free to contact Brad, or Jake. If you’re looking to have a video made for your company, LooseKeys is here to help.

It’s LooseKeys birthday and we’re turning 2!

image

Today LooseKeys turns two. It feels like just a couple weeks ago that I left Daily Planet ltd. and ventured out on my own to build this business. There hasn’t been a single day that I’ve looked back and second guessed my decision. 

It’s been an amazing journey with over 70 videos in our portfolio, some awesome clients and support of so many friends and family.  

If one year ago I had felt like I learned a lot, this year proved that I had no idea what I was doing because I was presented with a number of new challenges that I had to overcome. The biggest hurdle was in management of a team. This past year the team grew and Jake Williams came onboard full-time. One step closer to world domination… The team has been building steam and hopefully I’ll be able to add another person to it in the near future.

After two years, I think we’re doing something right over here. I’m slowly making sure that LooseKeys is more than just an animated explainer business. We’re storytellers, artists and with each video we do we’re able to show why clients pick us over the other guy. 

Thank you everyone for the support!

Three 2013 Communicator Awards!

2013 has been a good year so far for us at LooseKeys and it just got even better, we won three Silver Communicator Awards. 

The first one was for “The Smarter Wallet from Lemon” for online video animation. Mike and I had a blast working with Lemon on these videos and it’s awesome to see one of them winning another award. Next up was the “Viadeo Company Pages” video in “Branded Content - Business to Business” category. That video was really LooseKeys first exploration into live action video, so it’s awesome that it won a Telly and now a Communicator Award. Finally, our Boxee TV video won in the “Branded Content - Business to Consumer” category. 

All three of these videos span multiple styles, which really shows off what this talented team can produce!

LooseKeys: LooseKeys - ProjectRecap - CamScanner / CamCard

Looking to learn a little more about what goes into the projects at LooseKeys?

In this LooseKeys project recap, Brad Chmielewski, Jake Williams and Sergio Salgado talk about creating the live action videos for CamScanner and CamCard. Live action projects are always fun because they get the team away from the computer for a bit. These two videos involved a number of different locations and a handful of actors. Doing a live action shoot always involves more planning and with each one we run into new issues that we don’t typically see when doing animated videos. The tight turn around time on these two videos pushed us to work fast and efficiently.

If you have any other questions about this project, feel free to contact Brad, Jake or Sergio. If you’re looking to have a video made for your company, LooseKeys is here to help.
