As The LK™ family grows, we only get stronger, bolder, faster, and more refined. This week we have the pleasure of introducing you to a new member of the LK™ family who not only has fantastic taste in YouTube™ videos, but hits the ball out of the park when it comes to getting the job done. As the gold stars continue to rain down on her, it gives me a tremendous amount of joy in welcoming, Nicole Ranucci.

We have this funny feeling that the LK Europeans are making a mad dash back to their home countries… oh no. It’s true! Does it smell bad in New York? Maybe we shouldn’t answer that.

One of our dear animators, Valere Amirault, will soon find his way back to delicious food and romance. Back to long lunch breaks and family. Back to half a year of vacation and protests. Back to France. We sat down with Valere to hear his philosophies of life. Like they say, less is more.

Slam dunkin’ it daily… Nicole “Nooch” Ranucci is on the court next.

In case you haven’t been consuming your Recommended Daily Allowance of Fondue recently, please allow us to spoon feed you some exciting news about Toxic Baby™, a documentary that has been orbiting the LK sphere for some time now. If you’re completely new to Toxic Baby™, here is a little bit of backstory: six years ago, documentary filmmaker Penelope Jagessar Chaffer had a powerful realization about the impact of modern chemicals on our bodies and its transference into our children. This motherly awareness materialized from concept, to documentary work-in-progress, and is now a fully realized feature documentary with a fancy New York City premiere later this month. Oh, how quickly they grow up…

Penelope and her husband Elliot Chaffer, LK’s magnificent Creative Director, utilized LK’s Betterment Bureau™ (led by Elliott, himself)  to design and animate the opening titles, lower thirds, and graphic title cards. But you already knew that. The *news*, dear reader, is that Penny presented Toxic Baby™ at TEDWomen, and it has finally been uploaded to the TED website. Oh, happy day! Check out the full video HERE.

LK is proud as punch of Penny, and we wish Toxic Baby™ all the success in the world.
