The Quicks Series launched today

So, what are Quicks? Great question, we don't know.

We're going to run a quicks piece and blog weekly, showcasing ideas that come out of the CHC mantra - If you've got an idea, start today.

The ARS v MC stinger is a basic AE comp that uses stills and 3d camera movement. Inspired by CM de la Vega's work (NFL network, SuperBowl, Thursday Night Football), I wanted to give this look a try:

See ya next week!
