Slinky Pictures director/co-founder Chris Shepherd chopped through this recent viral short for the History Channel. It promotes Ax Men, the reality show that follows various logging crews, and Shepherd was joined by animators Jason Kotey and Rob Ward on the project. Rob Neilson and Jack Stephens at Karmarama initiated the concept.

Slinky Pictures somehow made sand and coffee blend together perfectly. For Kraft’s Carte Noire coffee product, Rebecca Manley directed this :30 second stop-motion spot using sand on glass. Creative on the ad, titled Steam, was overseen by Euro RSCG London.
