Marketline Magazine Fall 07 Issue features Pipeline's Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissue Campaign for Smak.

"The 2007 launch of the new Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissue saw an experiential campaign touch Canada’s major cities during the coldest week of the winter. Through a unique sampling campaign, the new product landed into the hands of hundreds of thousands of Canadians. The campaign delivered beyond expectations, resulting in an immediate and dramatic spike in sales, vastly outpacing original projections. Kimberly Clark’s taste of the experiential was positive, ensuring experiential tactics would regularly be a part of its future media mix". By Quentin Evans and Tuuli Hannula, Smak

Another addition to our site is our work with WCT Productions creating a fake axe and head rig for the film Wrong Turn 2.

Here’s another sampling of a fun project coming soon to our company site. Working in conjunction with WCT Productions, we had the privilege of providing concepts designs and a hand in making Will Smith’s  injured robotic arm in the action flick, I-Robot.  

A small sampling of mechanical arm concepts done during the production. Pictured below is the completed mechanical Silicone Arm shown on the big screen.

We’ve been busy lately with a rush of projects and can't post photos til the show is released. In the meantime, we’re steadily gathering compilation of projects to update our website. Here’s a taste of some of the past concept art projects we’ve worked.

Pigface Joe and Michael Jackson prosthetic designs concepts. Teaming up with Schminken Studio, we were brought on to provide concept designs for the film. Toby Lindala and his talent crew made all custom appliances for actor, Eddie Moss and applied the make-ups on set.

A while back we worked with WCT Productions fabricating, dressing and builting the mechanical rig, as well as, on set wrangling for the television show: Smallville season 2, episode titled exile.
