The 2011 NBA lockout slowed things down for the Jazz, but not for the Jazz Bear. Working for the Utah Jazz in the Energy Solutions Arena, I had the opportunity to frequently work with the funny, furry mascot. One of his many projects I had the pleasure to work on was this in-game mascot sketch that was shown on the Jumbotron during the game. One of my talented coworkers, Paul Garrett, asked me to create the a cartoony-style stage for this video. The Bear borrowed the idea from an old Benny Hill routine, and he brought in the Sacramento Kings mascot, "Slamson," and an attractive young lady to co-star in the video. Paul directed, filmed and edited the sketch. He shot the whole thing in front of an empty green screen and I created from scratch the colorful "stage" and props, using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I can't say that the Jazz's win against the Kings that night was because of the video, but I can "wish."
