The Dash Bash
summary
Studio-led production model claims to treat every credit as collective work and uses a resourcing team that sends hundreds of emails to assemble a bank of freelancers. Examples: storyboard-led animatics turned into a released social piece, Giphy commission turned into developing Giphy characters and IP, swag experiments (incense, magic eight ball). A rushed commercial had four weeks total but was animated all in five days by a freelancer brought back later; audio was outsourced to Antfood and credited as the thing that made the spots sing.
