05/17/10 – Brower Youth Awards wins an EMMY®! Congratulations to Rikshaw Films and KRCB for the show "Natural Heroes: The Brower Youth Awards" on their win at the 39th Annual Northern California EMMY® Awards, held on May 15th, 2010 in San Francisco. The program won in the Public/Current/Community Affairs Special category. Thanks for letting Gasket Studios be a part of this great show.
01/01/09 - Documentary house Rikshaw Films partnered with Gasket Studios to design a contemporary motion graphics package for the nonprofit environmental program Brower Youth Awards 2008. The package encapsulates six short documentaries profiling the winners and was featured at their annual event in San Francisco, California. In 2009 they'll air the docs on the PBS television show "Natural Heroes: The Brower Youth Awards" and as interstitial profiles on the Sundance Channel.
11/15/08 - Directors Joel Weber and Dominic Howes of Rikshaw Films wanted a modern feel that represented the new generation of environmental activists who embrace technology, business and social networking at all levels. Gasket explored the mission of each award winner–from preserving habitat to profitable alternative energy to sustainable heating–and wove the themes into the animation. The result is an iconic, kinetic and hopeful design with a vision for the future.
The Brower Youth Awards were established in 2000 to honor founder and legendary environmental activist, David R. Brower and to call forth a new generation of bold young environmental leaders. Since its inception, BYA has recognized 55 exceptional new leaders. The 2008 awards honored six young people for their outstanding activism and achievements in the fields of environmental and social justice advocacy. Visit their website.
Original storyboards for the graphics package. We stayed exceptionally true to the boards.
