On March 13th, REBUS members had a chance to tour the studio of 90 Degrees West. A welcoming, modern brick building located on the corner of Park and Truman Parkway, the 90°W studio is right on the edge of Lafayette Square, and has recently done business with Bud Light, Scottrade, Sea World, and McDonald’s.

After arriving, attendees had a chance to rub elbows with 90 Degrees West Partner Ellen Legow and several employees while noshing on a few delicious appetizers and beer from local craft producer Square One Brewery, before rotating in groups through the various editing suites involved in the motiongraphics process.  

Graphics and animation, sound design, and color grading breakout sessions gave REBUS members a chance to experience the range of services that 90 Degrees West offers their clients.  Highlighted throughout the tour were a range of TV spots that the 90°W team produced with Cannonball Agency for Ameristar Casinos.

Afterwards, REBUS members got a free T-shirt from 90°W, and many went to enjoy a few of Lafayette Square’s local establishments. If you missed the March event, but would like to take a tour of 90°W, be sure to contact Ellen Legow at ellen@90degreeswest.com.

Look for updates on future REBUS events coming soon!

After an initial introduction and mingling session, where attendees got a general overview of digital motion, Fleishman-Hillard provided breakout sessions that displayed in more depth the work they’ve recently completed with individual clients, like Energizer, Gatorade, Aflac, Papa John’s, Rawlings, and AT&T.
