Who Is That Masked Man?
He's the Jan Gardner Memorial Award for Outstanding Radio Copy awarded to our agency compadres at Red Deluxe at this year's Memphis ADDY awards. Check out these two spots from their award winning Memphis Grizzlies radio campaign starring our voice talent compadre Big Lou Johnson.

PS. I photoshopped a lucha libre mask on our Soderberghicon. Did you notice? Yeah? You did? Well... no. I used the scale and distort tool. Really? Oh. I didn't know you could do that. Well.. I think it looks fine. You get the idea anyway. OK. Next time I'll try that thing you were talking about. K. Thanks.

Soderberghicons be praised, our friends at Eric Rob & Isaac won a Gold Addy (one of many at this year's Arkansas ADDY Awards) for the Goldman Recycling radio campaign they produced here with us. Congrats y'all!

We'll Make You Think
Congrats to Zehnder Communications for winning Best of Show Overall this year at the Baton Rouge ADDY awards. Huzzah! One part of this campaign was the following handsome video with music, announcer VO, and audio mix provided by your's truly, Lucky Dog Audio Post. Which means it's time, once again, to whip out the Soderberghicon. Now... where is that thing?

Sound Design in the Sky
One of my favorite bits of the job is working with actors: finding a character, creating an emotional context, honing a performance. Occasionally we get to put that aside and simply work with un-narrated visuals, like this piece for Intake Studio.
And you know what? That's darn fun too.
Hugh Kretschmer, Los Angeles
Saw these cool, retro-ish, whimsical, weird photos by Hugh Kretschmer in his Feature Shoot Q&A.
This prosthetic ear vocal booth caught my real eye's attention. This shot also kind of gives me the willies.
Playtime
Another in the "Recent Work" catagory:
This spot makes me smile. Friendly VO, nice music and sound effects work that celebrates the playful vibe of the visuals. After trying several approaches on the car sound, we decided that the toy-box look needed a toy-box sound. Foley lip-buzzing by yours truly, modded with a "bubbly" vocoder effect.
For more, (and certainly more coherent,) behind the scenes commentary, see our friends at Third Degree.
Cover Me
Just saw this on Adfreak. It's like the Lazer Beatles radio spot that we produced for Bumpercar but different.
Laser Beatles
Here's a new radio spot we produced last week that's airing in Nashville. It's kind of weird. Especially the opening chord. I think that has something to do with pandiatonic harmony. Anyway, the whole concept behind the dialogue is some kind of inside joke. I don't get it. Apparently there was an invasion in the 1960s that I was never told about.
Maybe I'll ask Bumpercar to elaborate.

Speaking of the 80s (see previous post), things (television advertising, house chores, domestic mores, etc.) were different back then...

Buck Yeah! 3
Looks like our buddies at Third Degree totally cleaned up this year at the Oklahoma City ADDYs with their Buck the Norm campaign!! Buck yeah! Buck the Norm won Best Interactive, Best Broadcast and Best In Show!!! Whoo hoo!
We had a lot of fun working on this project. Besides finding a unique piece of music we also got to get laid-back with the voice over. Plus the script required some quirky sound effects which we pulled from our SFX vault (the clapping toy monkey and the film projector clicks and hums) as well as from the voice actor himself ("yarg" and "argg" and "Bada dah Da da Da DA"). This was mos def a fun one. Buckin rock!
