Maybe it’s more of a fluke than a recipe for success, but I’ve won another
CASE Circle of Excellence Award and was able to drop the f-bomb at work in the process. The winning piece was a video/animation parody of the foul-mouthed cartoon
South Park that I created for
Stuff2Do last fall.
Background (inside jokes for the campus community):
- Athletics got a new “Phoenix” logo – non-athletic folks on campus (yeah, I’m overweight) were warned to never use it, penalty of death by locker room towel snapping was issued for all who didn’t comply.
- Taco Tuesday, the best food deal on campus, was eliminated. In the place of 2 tacos for 2 dollars, we were given overpriced panini – campus climate entered a downward spiral as outraged faculty/staff/students weaned themselves from chili powder and salsa.
Outcome/Results:
- Doing voices for cartoon characters is incredibly humiliating.
- Flash is fun, but time consuming.
- My scissor skills are decent.
- Taco Tuesday was brought back to campus the following Tuesday. The Chancellor even sent me a note thanking me for my efforts and thought Stuff2Do was “largely responsible for bringing Taco Tuesday back.”
