Worth Rooting For

2010-04-09T11:58:00.001-05:00

You've probably seen this spot airing during the nationally-televised basketball games these past couple months. We worked with Wichita State University's Marketing Communications, the in-house advertising group for the school, to produce this commercial that promotes WSU and their programs to a national audience.

Own the Sky

Aerospace manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft came to us when they redesigned their website to be more interactive and customer-focused. We created this video for their homepage along with two others for the Beechcraft and Hawker business jet lines of aircraft.

Hoop Dreams

2010-03-29T12:00:00.001-05:00

We provide video production services for Wichita State Athletics and always support the Shockers whenever we can. As the corporate sponsor of the February 17th game, Todd, Heath and Troy received a signed ball from Senior Associate Athletic Director Brian Pracht at halftime. We're happy to partner with a great organization. Go Shocks!

River Me Timbers

2010-03-24T11:57:00.000-05:00

We're excited to wrap up a quirky and fun commercial for the Wichita tradition of River Festival. Last year's hippie birds were a hit and Corey animated a swashbuckling raccoon for this year's fest in May. Catch it below and airing in Wichita now.

Traditions

2010-01-08T12:27:00.010-06:00

There's been a lot of online buzz about the Wichita State Men's Basketball Open that we produced for the 2009-2010 season and we've got it here for you. The spot, which focuses on the history, traditions and players that have made the athletic program what it is today, runs before the team is introduced at home games. Catch it here and next time you're out supporting the Shocks!

Feelin' the Love

2009-12-22T10:20:00.001-06:00

It's great to see work we produced for Littlefield featured on Motionographer, a showcase of motion graphics and animation that have been deemed inspiring. Read their bit about Ryan and the Tulsa Health Departments spots here.

Also this week, Nice Type, a blog about fonts and typography featured the video we did for Greteman Group's Do the Deed campaign. Watch it here on Nice Type's Vimeo channel. Great work, Chad!

Animation Exploration

2009-12-11T11:40:00.002-06:00

We've recently completed four 15-second commercials for Tulsa ad agency Littlefield. Ryan animated pre-illustrated characters by hand-drawing each frame to create a cohesive commercial for their client, Tulsa Health Department. They were created for television and online and inform the public of free immunizations, frequent doctor visits, restaurant inspections and insect control. Watch the rigorous and involved process below and check our YouTube channel for the other three spots.

Doing the Deed

2009-12-07T16:49:00.006-06:00

We're happy to be partnering with Greteman Group, The Wichita Eagle and other local supporters to spread small acts of kindness.

Do the Deed tries to make each of us a bit more aware of our actions by showing decency to one another. It encourages us to do nice little things for others and, in turn, prompts them to pay the kindness forward. Especially during the holiday season, as we're all looking for ways to support the less fortunate, Do the Deed offers another way to give.

Join in the fun by doing nice little things for others. Check out the website to see what others are doing. Vote on your favorite simple acts, submit your own deeds, upload photos and videos and find out how you can even track your efforts. While you're there, watch the video that we created for the organization.

Halloweenie Roast

2009-10-21T01:11:00.006-05:00

The office-wide vote has been tallied and an official theme for our Halloween party on Final Friday has been determined: hot dogs. Catered hot dogs, a hot dog eating contest and a live hot dog grilling demonstration. Charlotte Martin's spooktacular art will be on display for this October 30th event and if there was ever a party that you didn't want to miss, it's this one (and every other one we have). Delicious food, great art, fun music and a chocolate fountain for dipping hot dogs. Well, maybe not the last one but...be there!

What Are the Odds?

2009-10-08T16:29:00.006-05:00

We're excited to show everyone a commercial we recently completed for JNA Advertising in Overland Park. We produced a spot about the Midwest Millions game for their client, Kansas Lottery. It was shot on a green screen in a Kansas City studio and the post-production was done at our Wichita office. The commercial, airing across the state now, features the second Midwest Millions winner from Kansas, who coincidentally played the game after seeing a spot with the state's first winner. Watch it below!

Feeling Exposed

2009-09-18T12:22:00.008-05:00

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and chatted yesterday at the Wichita Chamber of Commerce's Exposure. It was a great chance to learn about new businesses, meet other small business owners, and sample some of the goodies Wichita has to offer. A special thanks to our booth neighbor Cocoa Dolce, who supplied us with lots of chocolate samples and foot traffic! Congrats to the Chamber for a job well done.

Evidence of Antics

2009-08-21T11:53:00.006-05:00

We're confident in saying that everyone had a great time at our anniversary party. How could you not with food, drinks, tunes and...impromptu breakdancing on cardboard from the dumpster? Thanks to all of our friends who came out to make the occasion memorable.

Are We There Yet?

2009-08-07T14:23:00.004-05:00

We are now 1 short week away from our 5 year anniversary party! The bartender is confirmed, food is being ordered, decorations are decided and we'll be ready to celebrate when the Friday the 14th rolls around. Join us on the southeast corner of Douglas & Emporia in Old Town as we party the night away with good friends and good times.

Drumroll, Please

2009-07-31T16:26:00.006-05:00

We hope to see everyone at our August 14th party where we'll be celebrating 5 years in business. Swing by the office at Douglas and Emporia for some eats, drinks, sounds and the best damn camaraderie you've ever had.

Mach 1.6? Done.

2009-07-30T09:56:00.009-05:00

We're happy to announce that we've recently completed work for Sullivan Higdon & Sink and their client, Connecticut-based engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney. We've produced the ad below that will run on HillTube, a YouTube-like website with Congressional and government videos. Watch the spot below and visit our YouTube channel for a closer look at other exciting work that we've been up to.

Roman Rules

2009-07-24T09:00:00.005-05:00

We are now III weeks away from our V year anniversary bash on August XIV. As we continue the countdown, let us not forgot the true reason for doing this: cultural exploration. In the spirit of adventure, we took off our sombreros and donned togas. We hope our spouses don't hold it against us but we are wearing bed sheets. Sometimes sacrifices must be made in the name of history. Ryan accidently wore a fitted sheet but discovered the elastic is useful for carrying random objects. Corey "accidently" wore nothing underneath his. And Troy apparently didn't realize his sheet had roses on it until he left the house.

We might not always do it right, but we always have fun. Hail Caesar! See you on the 14th...I mean XIV.

Cinco de Mayo is So Last Year

2009-07-17T15:49:00.012-05:00

In honor of our 5 years in business, we continue the countdown to our anniversary party by celebrating what we like to call Cinco de Intake. Although we couldn't get the mayor to officially recognize it as a holiday, that didn't stop us. The mariachi music is bumping, margaritas are flowing and tongues are being burnt by enchiladas as we speak. Expect our party on August 14th to be just as fun. Viva Intake!

The Big 0-5

2009-07-10T12:50:00.017-05:00

Just like when America turned 5 years old in 1781 or Neil Armstrong commemorated 5 years of moon exploration or Brangelina had their 5th child, we're celebrating 5 exciting years in business. Although the official date was in June, the very official party will be held on Friday, August 14th. So while there are many ways to appreciate the significance of the number 5, we begin our 5 week countdown to our 5 year anniversary party by honoring today's number 5 favorite, the Jackson 5.

Now give me a high 5.

Thanks for Your Patients

2009-05-29T15:50:00.002-05:00

Our latest project with Howerton + White called upon all of us here in the office to collaborate. The goal was to showcase the patient-centered care, advanced technology and cardiac program at Wesley Medical Center. Watch one of the spots below and check out our YouTube page to see the other.

She Doesn't Fetch our Coffee

2009-05-27T14:50:00.006-05:00

We're happy to have Mary-Marshall Gallant joining the Intake crew this summer. As a marketing major, she'll be helping us out in that department before heading back to Miami University in Ohio. Thanks to everyone who has made her feel welcome.

Because Themes are a Must

2009-05-27T14:43:00.010-05:00

You're invited to join us as we kick off the summer here at Intake Studio. We're dedicating this Friday night to old school rap and all the glorious things that come with it. Come as you are (but mad props to those with major bling.) See you there!

Screen Printing

2009-05-20T13:44:00.003-05:00

Our friends at Screen Magazine published a story on the music video that we produced for SKYFOX. Check it out here and catch the video on YouTube if you haven't already.

Get On Your Party Pants

2009-05-15T13:25:00.002-05:00

The party gods have scheduled another celebration for Friday, May 29th. What are we celebrating? National Egg/Asthma/Asparagus/Older Americans/Salad Month. Oh and JFK's birthday.

Make Intake your number one destination or stop by as you stroll through the art galleries in the area. Come as you are after work (party pants/pants optional.)

Small Biz Survival

2009-05-06T13:52:00.006-05:00

For the past year, we've been honored to represent the Chamber of Commerce and Wichita's entire entrepreneurial community as the 2008 Small Business of the Year. The whole Intake crew was at the awards lunch today as we extended our congrats and passed the torch to the 2009 winners: Eberly Farm and The Print Source. WSU Men's Basketball Coach, Gregg Marshall, gave a great speech and expressed a shared sentiment that Wichita will overcome and prosper through these economic difficulties. A big thanks to the Chamber, Wichita Eagle and everyone involved.
