The animation and film titling work that we’ve created over the years has been in collaboration with Mike Bold of Digital Itch. I’ve known Mike since the early 1990s when he first worked for my wife, Linda, prior to joining my firm back in the mid-90s.

A very talented designer in his own right, Mike eventually fell in love with motion graphics while working on a project for us in 1997—our first foray into animation. Since then, he has developed his skills to the point where the Grammy Awards, the NFL, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show have all come calling.

Lucky for us, he still takes our calls.
