Having exhausted the full budget for his new dystopian sci-fi thriller Bits & Pieces on the live-action component, director Allen Martinez was left short when it came to completing a :60 second expository montage. Thankfully for Martinez, Chris Do Executive CD at bi-coastal design studio Bl:nd (and former classmate from the Art Center) was there to help out free of cost.  With a glass half-full approach to the zero budget project, Chris Do enthused “Projects like this are important to us because we are able to beta-test ideas before using the techniques we learn on larger scaled projects.”
