Cousins Follow Up Spec Hit Viral for Skittles with Reese’s ‘Love Child’

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Giving birth has never been so sweet. Directing team Jordan Sharon and Keith Hamm, A.K.A. "Cousins," follow up their infamous Skittles "Newlyweds" viral with Reese's "Love Child." The new viral features an unexpected twist in the delivery room, or rather, several unexpected twists. Reese's "Love Child" may well leave you thinking, "Oh no they di-dn't!"

Oh yes, they did.



And they had some help from The Mill L.A., lead by Adam Carroll in 3D and Nick Tayler in 2D, along with 3D Assists Kyle Moore and Matt Vogan, and 2D Artists Steve Cokonis, Remedy Huynh, Margolit Steiner and Patrick Munoz. Matt Longwell animated and Gregory Reese graded "Love Child." And lest we forget Cousins' line producer Kali Erin Niemann, DP Eric Robbins and editor Ryan Delk.



While over 14 million views between Vimeo and YouTube for Skittles "Newlyweds" may sound a little mind boggling, directors Sharon and Hamm weren't entirely surprised. "We think Skittles is a smash because it's so unexpected," they say. "It's the kind of thing someone might joke about, but you'd never ever expect to actually see it. It's got the OMG factor. We hope Reese's will, too."
