If you haven't heard of GeeGuides it's high time you do!

GeeGuides is an interactive animation based learning module series dedicated to using "edutainment" to teach. To date the only existing curriculum is (my favorite) art!
GeeGuides was formed by a group of ex-Disney guys after the Orlando 2D Studio was shut down (one of the Eisner Regime's more brilliant moves). A ton of great talent was scattered to the winds that year, and many of them re-formed to create small studios or ventures.
The Modules that GeeGuides put together (with Flinch teaming up with Fatkat Animation to handle Animation & Interactive design & code) are nothing short of brilliant. I was blown away by how much I learned just working on this project. Hey, it won awards - two, I think!
I can't wait until my kids are a little older and can really dig into this stuff! Take a look:
Tickles, Furnace & Ruby: Armed & Endangerous
The co-founder and creative force behind GeeGuides is Eric Guaglione, former Computer Animation Supervisor for Disney's last few 2D films. He is something of a Leonardo Da Vinci, equally proficient in technology and art. That's him doing the voice of Furnace.
It is truly an honor to get to work with people like Eric - every bit as much as it was working with more well-knowns like Sandler & Burton. Like any great creative lead, he maintains a clear vision while allowing the people working under him to exercise their talents. The other folks at GeeGuides deserve equal mention, especially our boy Randy Parker, the coolest cucumber in the salad!
And these guys made US feel like the rock stars!! To be fair, we did some pretty awesome work:
GeeGuides goes down in history as one of our favorite clients to date. We're not sure yet what will happen with the program, but it is so amazing (and ahead of its time) that it's bound to be a success.
We sure are proud to have worked with them.
