Headlight Re-Interprets A Classic With “Wolfie”
From New York-based design and visual effects house Headlight comes “Wolfie,” an inventive interpretation of the
classic “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” fable. This animated two-minute short was stylishly crafted for the second annual
Twenty120 film collection. The 2008 Twenty120
collection features works from renowned
commercial directors, designers, television
creatives, art directors and fine artists spanning
from Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, London
and Cologne, Germany. This year’s theme:
Truth vs. Deception.
“Wolfie” features a family of Russian nesting
dolls enjoying a leisurely winter afternoon
at the park. When the youngest
daughter tries to join in the activities of her older siblings and is rebuffed, she sulks in a dark corner of the
park. The daughter then shrieks in terror to fool the family into thinking she’s in trouble. The daughter
does this twice until a shadowy figure appears – with her shrieks of terror falling on deaf ears.

Digit Helps Drive “School Bus”

uplifting moment in history, on to the Broadway stage
and finally into the far reaches of our solar system – fueled
by compelling content offered exclusively on PBS. “School Bus”
was brought to life by a uniquely talented group that includes
Elias Merhige of Independent Media, visual effects studio Digit, and
acclaimed DP Januz Kaminski.
The spot extends PBS’ award-winning “Be more” brand campaign. “Be
