Team Roger was hired by advertising agency Mother NY to create a fun, quirky animation for a JC Penney spot in December. Terry and Janice took a night drive to the JC Penney store at a mammoth-sized mall in Arcadia to watch our work in action on a wall of TVs surrounded by beds on display. Though taking a nap on a lovely bed was enticing, Terry and Janice instead hobnobbed with the folks from Interrogate and Mother while the crew worked their magic. What came out of it was pretty funny, but don’t blink or you might miss our contribution!
Seth Weiner, a Sci-arc graduate and long time friend of Roger, recently collaborated on an installation at the Standard Hotel as part of the on going PST exhibits happening in Los Angeles.
Turns out, we have been following Seth’s work for a while. Take a moment to read our Q&A session with Seth where we tap in to his experiences as a fine artist who found his niche through an Architectural school, and his journey from Michigan to the thriving LA art scene as a working fine artist. He will share with you his secrets of past, present, and still to come projects… Read the full article here:
We were asked to make a short piece about optimism for the OWN network. When we showed this to Oprah Winfrey she was like: “Uhhhh, I don’t get it”. Whatever Oprah, we like it.
Hey there, checkout the teasers we sent to TBS for the Conan O’Brian Network launch last fall. We are all big fans of the Masturbating Bear so when they asked us to pitch on some teasers for the show we were like, “Oh hell yah!” We did this whole thing down and dirty. We cleared out some space at R&R and set up a shoot with all our friends.
We got our resident thespian, Dane, a man of a million voices to play the part of all the male leads.
Here’s beth strutting her stuff
Blake played the part of Conan’s Hair
Theo and Grace helped us setup a proper green screen.
Anyway here is the one that actually made it on air.
A trailer for our new short that answers the age old question, “What if robots had a prom?”
We collaborated with paper artist Kiel Johnson and the students of Cypress College to create this 7 minute short about a bunch of teen angsty robots. We drew a lot of inspiration from our favorite generational movies like 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science.
Hey guys we’re almost finished with the Cypress High colab between us and Kiel Johnson.
We’ll have atrailer up in the next week but until then check out Kiel’s 2nd Friday over at
the Mark Moore Gallery. Its a collection of shorts currated by Mr. Johnson.
It includes a new music video by R&R’s very own Mark Yamamoto & CW Milberger.
Should be a good time and who knows what robot may show up. See ya there!

So we got a couple of things brewing here. This is a look behind the scenes of one of them. It’s another collaboration with our buddy Kiel Johnson, Arthur Mor, Devon Tsuno and the students of Cypress College. We were lucky enough to be asked to put our Roger spin on things. We took over part of the campus for the day and had ourselves a lil party. Only a few robots were injured in the making but nuthin a lil hot glue couldn’t fix.
We recently teamed up with the good folks at Myspace and explored new logo designs that let your imagination run free. Check out 2 of our favorites below…
