Hornet Inc’s directing duo Dan & Jason have just delivered a new spot for PPL Electric Utilities. The ad, titled Birds, was drawn in Flash, however the team used the software as an ink and paint tool, animating ‘traditionally’ as you’ll see below. The line work was also run through a texture mask to give it a pencil line quality. The animation on the spot was handled by Mike Luzzi and Mark Pecoraro.

On the heels of developing their Office Buddies series with 20th Century Fox, the animation directing duo known as Dan & Jason have revealed their latest creation – Man Team. It’s a Flash-animated buddy comedy that mixes in a political slant, skewering the likes of Herman Cain. They had help on the short from animators Keelmy Carlo, Alan Foreman, Mike Luzzi, and Mary Varn.

Hornet Inc’s directing duo Dan & Jason have revealed a new original micro-short. Squirrels is the latest installment in their Dan & Jason Blip series.

Following up on their confused.com spots from 2010, Hornet Inc’s directing duo Dan & Jason have produced yet another musical-style animated spot. This one revolves around the Diana Ross track Chain Reaction, and is no less ambitious than the previous ads.

Hornet Inc’s directing duo Dan & Jason recently delivered a series of new, animated spots for confused.com, a UK-based price-comparison insurance company.
