Good news, Reader! An animated short created by two of our very own staff animators has been selected in the Animation Spotlight category for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival! We couldn’t be more proud of Jean Delaunay and Valere Amirault, and their contributions to 8BITS. Break a leg at Sundance, guys!
Last Friday, LK took a well-deserved break to celebrate the holiday season and to reflect back on a successful 2010. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful and talented group of people. Let us all raise a glass to our blessings, big and small, and remember how fortunate we all are.
The dinner was a smashing success, rife with delicious eats, quenching cocktails, a brutal gift exchange, and lots of little eye-hole surprises.
Our venue even had a photobooth near the bathroom! We couldn’t resist.
As we remodeled the LK Offices this past summer, we asked ourselves “what would propel our space into the next echelon of coolness?” The resounding answer: our own mini insert stage.
Branded as The Garage™, our little stage is still being developed into a proper space, but has already seen action on both pitches and proper jobs alike. It gives our Creatives a place to have mini-shoots, and allows them the opportunity to inexpensively experiment with ideas. It adds a tremendous amount of flexibility to our process, and we’re all pleased as punch to have this kind of dedicated space in our office.

Vegetarians need not apply.
Rounding out LK’s connection team, manning our western front and sitting in the hot seat this week is Dominique Goulet! We had many burning questions for her, such as why someone from an esteemed hockey bloodline would move to a city that never gets ice, and attempted to pry out some answers.
