Jen Kwok’s new music video “Take You Home” premieres on Atom.com today, and we’re very proud.

Special thanks to Carolyn Castiglia and the very funny Gary Mahmoud.

Also Jen’s and my previous video together “Date An Asian”, just pulled in over 120,000 hits on Atom.com in the past month. So please help us top it by passing around “Take You Home” to all of your friends. Thanks, champions!

The latest 12 Angry Mascot short is live on Atom.com, mashing up Johanessburg’s World Cup fever, obviously with another event set in South Africa.

I’m very proud of this one, and enjoyed getting to play with lots of glitches and a thriller feel. Two more sports-related shorts for Atom.com coming out in July and August, so keep your eyes peeled.

“Date An Asian” is TOP FEATURE on Atom.com

“Date An Asian” is currently the TOP FEATURE on Atom.com…right next to a picture of Kenan Thompson.

Watch it again here and help us get drive up some hits. Also we just sold Jen’s BRAND-NEW video “Take You Home” to Atom.com as well and it should be premiering within the month. Exciting times to be into Asian-themed girl comedy music videos, for sure.

JOCKEY STUD - New 12 Angry Mascot Short

ballardcboyd — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 17:36:52 +0000

The first new short I directed with 12 Angry Mascots for Atom.com this summer is up. It’s a classy approach to the very non-classy topic of Jockey Breeding.

Three more coming thru August, so hold on to your riding crop.

SHOT: Google NY Promo

Just directed a new comedy promo for Google at their NY offices for their annual sales conference in California. Do i get to go to California to see it? No, I don’t.

But I’ll tell you - their cafeteria is AMAZING. Which almost makes up for the lack of travel.

Should be a good one, if you like slo-mo fashion voguing from a bunch of nerds. More in June, once they let me release it.

BOOKED: New Atom.com Shorts

ballardcboyd — Thu, 06 May 2010 17:10:44 +0000

I’ll be directing a series of new shorts with 12 Angry Mascots for Atom.com, in the upcoming summer months, to be release about once a month. In keeping with 12 Angry Mascots’ sports-themed comedy, each short will highlight a different topical sport.

First up, my favorite sport: Horse Racing. Because of course, it’s Triple Crown season.

ESPN.com Promo

I directed a promo for ESPN.com & Sony last week that’s currently online.

Props to the fabulous writer/performer Neil Janowitz and producer Hilary Siegel (who’d featured as “wife”) for being great, and for letting me deliberately shoot this video so terribly.
