Jason Rapp. The Rappopotimus. The Render Wrangler. The Admiral of Animation. A pixel-pushing legend who's been bending light and time since Cinema 4D v1.0. He's been our Head of Design & Animation since 2010--crafting magic by day in the studio, animating with Starlink in the desert by night. Teamwork making the dream work for 15 years. Lookout Stag Bar, it's his birthday and he's got a lot to celebrate. So y'all raise a Cactus Cooler & Tito's to the blue collar creative who gets it done with little fanfare. We love you, pal.

Birthday shoutout to the absolute legend, Caroline Scott! 🎉
Former mascot Tuffy the Titan, dubbed "nails" by Robert Mondavi, and once yelled at by Jane Lynch (proudly). Today, she’s our badass partner and Head of Production at Merit/Andrew — and somehow finds time to coach roller derby, captain boats, blast classic rock, and wage a lifelong war against ketchup.Fun fact: she worked nights at Pottery Barn Kids to help launch this crazy dream with the Fleming Bros. We’ve got a lot to celebrate. 🔥

Throwback to 2010 when we shrunk Rob Riggle with lasers to live inside an LG phone as a personal T-Mobile concierge. The catch? Painful lasers. The reward? Endless apps and all the AC/DC you can crank. Ah, simpler times—when HI (human intelligence) ran the show. 😆📱🔥 ?

to the 2018 Don’t Drive Intexticated PSA campaign we created for AAA. Filmed on LA’s 710 Freeway, we built on decades of Don’t Drive Intoxicated messaging to draw a powerful parallel between drinking and distracted driving.

The result? A major PR win for AAA and a deeply rewarding project for our team. 🚗📵

Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Festivus!

Whatever you celebrate, we made you an unpaid advertisement for a new fake product we think you’ll want–but can never have. It’s our way of saying thank you for being our friends, collaborators, partners, clients, and future unsubscribers.

May your Airing of Grievances be cathartic and your Feats of Strength victorious!

On break from a recent production in San Francisco, Jake had the opportunity to pursue his academic research at a facility on Pier 45. With a chili cheese dog in one hand and a sampling of Canadian coins in the other, he tapped into an antique video portal that would provide key insights on a subject close to his heart. These explorations and learnings will soon manifest into an unprompted diatribe about his findings. These "bursts" of information can be informative, intoxicating, and completely unwanted. Got any good "Jake Burst" moments you'd like to share?

Throwback to that time 19 years ago when we collaborated with Eric Jordan and his team at 2Advanced Studios on a commercial shoot for BSN's No Xplode pre-workout supplement. One of the athletes was Paul "Triple H" Levesque. Wrestler. Athlete. Showman. Actor. Great dude. And now Chief Content Officer at WWE. The tools have changed, but the process remains about the same (just 10X faster).

New digs alert! In case you haven't experienced Merit/Andrew in 2024 IRL, we have things dialed in on the Lido Peninsula. Since 2020, we've had a "work from anywhere" setup---and we still do. But over time we all realized that having a rad home base to collaborate was important to us and to some of our clients. Voila. There's just something wonderful in the air here in Newport Beach and we haven't missed that big studio space in Irvine. Question. We used to host annual open houses that brought awesome people together from LA/OC/San Diego. It was a great way to connect with old friends and to meet to ones. We're thinking about bringing them back. What do you think?

What's Jake up to here?! Swipe. Yup. They're back. "CNW Presents"--we ran out of CN movies. Beta-tested Seagal in the new shop. Salt. Senseless murder. Sauce. A salubrious endeavor indeed. What Seagal movie should we do next? Winner gets an invite. A Miller High Life. And unlimited hot dogs.* *Limit 3 hot dogs
