FX
THE AMERICANS IDENT
Cardboard Castle is pleased to present our latest dramatic full CG spot. This is our first collaboration with our wonderful new clients at FX. Big thanks to our representative Brett Ashy of the Ashy Agency who recently made the introduction. We quickly got to work crafting multiple concepts for the spot. Our lead CG artist, Brian Smith, conceived the symbolic Bear and an Eagle showdown over a pile of ICBM’s -- a perfect Cold War metaphor! Enjoy! Keep up with Cardboard Castle!

Thanks to our rep Brett Ashy of the Ashy Agency who recently made an introduction with us to FX Networks. We quickly got to work concepting multiple ideas for the ID and our very own Brian Smith had a brilliant idea to show off a great battle between a Bear and an Eagle over a pile of ICBM’s. A perfect metaphor!
This is another great piece that represents Cardboard Castle's desire to continually set the bar higher and higher. Our team is always up for the challenge and with the introduction of the bear and the eagle we have added a few new tricks up our sleeve.
