Today is PUNY's first birthday! The last few weeks have been all about reflection as we've had to put together documents for proposals and banks and so forth and I'm super happy with our first year. We were a little nervous that people would see us as whatever they DIDN'T need. Animation clients would see us as software dev. Interactive clients would see us as animators. Design clients would see us an illustration house. Slick brands would see us as weird. Indy folks would think we were corporate. The conceptually needy would see us as a production house. etc. etc. While some of this happened, especially with Target, we ended up with a year of great projects that have set us up for a 2008 that I literally dance around when thinking about.

This Interactive Entertainment thing is working out! We've rounded out the team over the last year to include five programmers with three computer science and two physics degrees between them and a visual side of twelve people all whom have their own books, films, and even fanclubs but still stick around to drive PUNY.

I'm not sure how much blogging will happen over the next few weeks as I imagine we'll all be putting our heads down tomorrow to start creating the "what are you guys working on?" for the first part of 2008.

What are you guys working on?

--Cool development engine for interactive characters.
--A live/action animated show pilot featuring a super rock band.
--A animated pilot based on a beautiful kid's book.
--Some toys.
--Huge animation and music heavy site for ONDCP.
--Two major toy co. sites loaded with games and applications.
--Programming a half dozen media sites for various clients.
--Redoing a game development co's site and promo sites.
--On the cusp of getting the GO GO GO a site that is going to blow minds.
