It was an honor to work with RDW for their client, CL&P, a premier sponsor of the Special Olympics Connecticut Winter Games. ECD/Partner Jeff Patch and freelance producer Alyson Singer joined forces with Kevin on this spot that features athletes as they savor moments in the competition. Director Jimmy Collins at MacGuffin Films captured the scenes of joy and determination. Victory is theirs.
Rockland Trust's Freeness
"Freeness"
"Fee Detector"
Rockland Trust launched their first ever broadcast effort recently with VOX Advertising. Brad Pruett, Rick Frisiello, Chuck Matzker, and Paul Fortuin worked with Collin on these campy, character-driven spots that focus on the “Freeness” that abounds at Rockland Trust. They were directed by Ian Mcfarland at Redtree Productions and shot on the Arri Alexa. Toil joined the efforts, contributing an animated logo treatment. And Kevin wrapped up the project with a color correct and conform. Go on, enjoy some freeness.
Blue Cross & Blue Shield of RI
"Print Makers"
In this father and son spot for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, the owner of a small business talks about his family at home and his family at work. Wellness is the focus, and the need for solid health care provided by BCBS. Our longtime friends Jeff Patch (ECD/Partner at RDW) and Alyson Singer (freelance producer) worked with Kevin on this latest campaign. Directed by Redtree’s Christian Hoaglund, it was shot on the RED with a full digital workflow throughout. Graphic design was executed by Toil. Watch and be well.
Bertucci's "The Fire Inside"
We just wrapped a project we are especially proud of; Bertucci’s “The Fire Inside” campaign aired for the first time March 31st.
Connelly Partners called on Toil + Accomplice early on to help create a unique visual look and feel for the hero of the spot – “The Fire Inside” their signature brick oven. We worked closely with creative team Alyssa Toro and Steve Connelly, along with producer Alyson Singer, on several design passes to find the one that would drive the warm, energetic tone of the spot. After the R&D process we moved into production with Richard Klug at Redtree shooting the live action elements. Then Kevin collaborated with Toil's team of 3D artists, compositors, and animators to bring it home.
We’re happy to have Toil as part of the Accomplice family to make projects like this possible.
Enjoy the heat.
AmpSurf TV
"1944"
It’s hard not to feel inspired watching these surfers. Josh Caplan certainly was, and he felt compelled to spread the word for The Association of Amputee Surfers by organzing a TV campaign for the cause. AmpSurf is a non-profit organization created for the rehabilitation of amputees, with a focus on helping disabled veterans. Kevin cut this campaign that was written by Josh, art directed by Robert Hamilton and directed by Kevin Smith at Backyard Productions. It’s moving footage, and we think you’ll agree that healing the mind and body through this thrilling sport is a stroke of brilliance.
PSNH Campaign
"Shelter"
"Hospital"
"Barbershop"
Creative team Natasha O’Rourke and Dan O’Donnell of Connelly Partners worked with Collin on the latest campaign for Public Service of New Hampshire. Sasha Levinson of Lost Highway Films directed these stories which examine the personal relationship between PSNH and their customers. Have you thanked your public service employee lately?
Meet Team New Balance
Meet Maggie Vessey
Meet Jenny Simpson
Arnold friends Billy Near, Jaime Guild, Steve Caputo, Mike Howard, and Luke Perkins worked with Collin to cut several videos that highlight core members of Team New Balance. These Olympic hopefuls explain their path in becoming world-class athletes. Competitive and passionate, they will inspire you; just watching them train is enough to make you want to put on your running shoes. Or at least become a Team New Balance fan.

Breeders' Cup Video
The Breeders’ Cup World Championship, hosted last year by historic Churchill Downs, sets the bar in thoroughbred racing. Kevin became a fan himself when he edited this video for Conover Tuttle Pace. Horse-lovers Barbara Bowen, Grant Pace and Mark Bappe were the team on this tribute to the much-acclaimed, richest event in sports. One story that stands out within the video is that of Zenyatta. By the end we were all rooting for her, and we think you will be too.
McDonald's "Superfan" & "Bowling"
The Green Couch recently hosted Arnold’s producer Sean Vernaglia and creatives Alyson Hayes and Bryan Carr as Collin edited this latest McDonald’s McCafe campaign. These humorous, performance-driven spots that feature their lattes were directed by Chris Hooper of Uber Content. Creative directors Chris Edwards and Mary Rich also visited, to give the spots some extra love. Accomplice did the finishing as well. It was all much fun, as evidenced by the laughter echoing down the hall.
Welch's "Whole New Place"
We were excited to team up with VIA on this campaign for Welch’s to promote their 100% juice. CCO Greg Smith, CD Ian Dunn and EP Mary Hanifin worked with Kevin on these spots which feature famous chef, Alton Brown. Accomplice finished the spots as well. As you’ll see, Mr. Brown encourages everyone to start their day with Welch’s 100% juice to reap the benefits of grapes, berries, vitamins, and antioxidants. Juice up, people.
