DDDS wins so many awards we had to grow more arms to hold them!

I thought we should get back into the awards programs this year so I picked some of the most prestigious... and guess what? We won a bunch of awards for our animation, website and special effects work! The Telly award itself (man with wings) is made by the same people that do the Oscars and is a really big deal in our world. The others are Summit Awards and an Aegis. Pictured with me on my left side is my right-hand man Gabriel Flores who is an amazing "any" media artist and deserves much credit for these awards.

Happy Halloween 2011

Deep Down has designed a fully scalable Carousel system that's rocking the world of umbilical and cable storage and deployment. Carousels can be configured to handle from 1,000 MT all the way up to an amazing 4,500 MT. Deep Down was honored at OTC 2011 as the Carousel was the “Innovation Winner” for the ASME Woelfel Best Engineering Achievement Award from the International Petroleum Technology Institute. A 3,400 MT Carousel is being assembled on-site right now at Core Industries facilities in Theodore, Alabama. This is pretty exciting for the company as a whole and this is just the beginning!

Deep Down Bend Stiffener Latcher Animation

This is a cool piece of equipment that makes things easier when connecting/disconnecting risers with bend stiffeners to FPSOs and other production vessels and platforms. We made an animation of it to show how simple the operation is so check it out on our YouTube channel.

Yet another innovative design from Deep Down, Inc.

Deep Down Design Studios Creates Commercial for Lucas Auto Care

This is a commercial we did for Lucas Auto Care completely in house, with our own equipment and people. We created all the special effects including the smoke which was a military smoke bomb we filmed on a black background then keyed out the black. I wrote, directed, starred-in (yes that's me in the Ferrari), filmed, photographed, animated, keyed, created special effects, did the voiceover and recording and came up with the concept for the commercial. Our lead animator Gabe created additional special effects, animations, keying, color corection, sound effects, assisted in filming and did the final post-production. This was a lot of fun and it turned out great. The client was beyond happy and excited about it and watched it about 20 times in a row and was calling everybody into his office to see it.
