Awards:
2012 People's Choice Telly (Silver, their highest Award)
Telly Awards
The Telly Awards has named Sean Kinney, CEO and Creative Director of 1 Stooge Entertainment, as a Silver winner in the 33rd Annual Telly Awards for his work on the project titled “Professional Pretender.” With nearly 11,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, this is truly an honor.
“Professional Pretender” is a music video for local alternative band Riddle the Sphinx. Director Kinney took an artistic approach to the song’s themes of infidelity and betrayal, incorporating cartooned rotoscoping and a stylistic version of tilt-shift photography to create a playful hyper-reality, while at the same time accentuating how deceit and manipulation in a relationship is childish and small in the scope of life.
The Telly Awards are the premier award honoring outstanding TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions. Winners represent the best work of the most respected advertising agencies, production companies, and television stations in the world.
A prestigious judging panel of over 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly and a member of The Silver Telly Council judge the competition.
“The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “Sean Kinney’s accomplishment illustrates his creativity, skill, and dedication to his craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”
The band could not be more pleased. Bass player Burgundy Morgan shared, “Sean brings a level of fun and professionalism to every project that he has worked on with us. We feel the award is a wonderful acknowledgement of his dedication to his clients, and to his work as a whole.”
