Knowing When (Not) To Say “No”.

October 23, 2012 by Rowell

If there’s anything better than being invited back for another creative animated tv spot by a great creative team: it’s being asked to add a little something that wasn’t in the original script…and watching it take off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0eVqj0wxSkVideo can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Chicken Dance: Taco John's® (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0eVqj0wxSk) In a spot recorded this summer and readied […]

If there is a downside to doing the voice for an animation project, it’s the seemingly interminable interval before you can actually see the final result. But more often than not…it’s worth the wait.

November 3, 2011 by Rowell

I finally got a look at my Ranch. Last summer I did the voice of a crusty old farmer who raises the different “flavors” of chicken for Taco John’s. Since the restaraunt chain has no locations my home territory (yet), I’ve been scouring the internet for a look at the final animated TV spots. Here’s the […]

Well I’ll Be A Monkey’s Uncle…oh, wait…

December 4, 2008 by Rowell

It’s not too difficult to make a monkey out of me. But never has it been done so creatively. https://youtu.be/H66ny2TmRQc Tom Morse and the crew at SAS in Cary, NC came up with some clever ways to liven up the product demo to their new data management software. I don’t pretend to understand what it does, but […]
