Our animated TV ad, “Insurance Company Bullies,” for the Vrdolyak Law Group won three Telly Awards for Animation Craft! The spot was completely hand-drawn and hand-animated from start to finish.

Take a look behind the scenes to see how we brought the concept, characters, and animation to life.

CASTING CALL!

We’re looking for up-and-coming garage bands, ages 12 to 18, for a new reality show filming in the Chicago metro area!

If you’re in a band, write and perform your own music, want to learn from musicians who’ve made it, and dream of making it big yourself, we want to hear from you!

To be considered, send us:
* A video of your band performing one or two original songs
* A short video from each band member introducing themselves—tell us what makes you you, what you play, why you love making music, and where you hope your music will take you

We’re looking for young musicians with talent, personality, ambition, and a story to tell. Any genre is welcome.

Send your videos and band information to garageband@mjwebdell.com by September 30, 2026.

Your garage could be just the beginning!

Band members must be ages 12–18. If you’re under 18, please get permission from a parent or legal guardian before submitting. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @michaelwebdell

Our newest fully animated TV ad for the Vrdolyak Law Group!

A lot of work goes into bringing an animated spot like this from concept to screen, and I’m proud of our team for another job well done.

If your company needs advertising, video production, or animation that gets noticed, let’s talk.
