LOBO'S SHORTS CELEBRATE INNOVATION AT PENN STATE 
Creative design, animation and mixed media studio LOBO promotes Penn State’s research and achievements in a pair of animated campaign videos for the university, out of agency Decoded Advertising. The two spots feature visually vibrant and painterly animations championing pollinator research and successful healthcare innovation, born from the minds of real-world Penn State students and faculty featured in live action at the end of each short. 

LOBO’s Guilherme Marconde directed the two spots titled “Christine Grozinger” and “Shevy Karbasi.”

Designed to encourage and support a new generation, the ASC Student Heritage Awards also celebrate the memory of an ASC member. This year’s Undergraduate and Graduate Award was named in honor of Oscar®-nominee Richard H. Kline, ASC (Camelot, King Kong). The Documentary category is dedicated to multi Oscar®-winner Haskell Wexler, ASC (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Bound for Glory).
