We had fun creating another holiday video using live footage and animation.  We like what we did last year, so we were nervous we wouldn't be able to live up to it.  We think we pulled it off.  Our good friends at Blank Space did the live action shooting and the final video editing.

For those Wes Anderson fans out there, see if you can spot the all of the references to his movies.   And be sure to read the credits.

We created concept renderings for the Launch Party scheduled for November 2022 - a year before the race.  The rendered elements were added to photographs of the Las Vegas skyline. We were given only basic concept information, so we used a lot of create license to meet a very short deadline.

"I started Bowen Studios 20 years ago today. I was planning to be a freelancer. Working from home. Living the artist’s dream. After months working crazy-long days I knew I needed some help. I've worked with some talented illustrators ever since. 

Over the past two decades we've created renderings and animations for some great projects with some great people all over the world. 

It's been hard work. I've got the gray hair to prove it. But, it's also been a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who has helped us over the past 20 years!"

We got a ton of comments!  Hopefully we can pull if off again next year."

Attendees at the groundbreaking used the Oculus Go to view a Virtual Tour of the planned building that we created.  We also created rendering and animations to help with the fundraising effort. 

"Architects and developers often face the challenge of needing to describe a concept for a new project before it makes sense to devote time and money on plans and drawings.  How do they best convey their project, without drawings, when pitching to new clients, investors or the city?"

"As a business owner and creative director, Bowen’s top lesson is that hiring the right personality is often more important than hiring the right skillset. You can’t train personality, he says. But you can always train someone to improve their skills."
