Lumberjack Day!

Today was the third theme day here on YGG Season 3; Lumberjack Day!

We had lots of great participation, here are some of the best!

The female finalists:

The winner was Julia Vickerman: a great animator, storyboarder, painter and the most birthday'd girl in the office. Happy birthday Julia!
Other candidates were: Estee Castillo and Shana Levi-Nielsen... great job!

The male finalists:

Joel Fox swept the male category today with his dead-on atire, homemade axe and winning smile. Joel makes the magic happen around here, he is in charge of motion graphics and FX, so naturally, he's got the magic.
Other runner-ups were: Mark da Intern, CJ and Bryan Schlam... Huzzah!

Here is the whole lumberjackin' crew:


Still coming - OSHA Day update!

OSHA Day is a safe success!

We finally got the group photo from OSHA Day!



The winners for the day were:

Dudes - A TIE! between Chris Partida (OSHA Supervisor) and Dominick Kypragoras (Haz-mat ready), woo yeah!

Ladies - Andrea Edmondson (All-around safe), alright!

Today we started filming...

...it will forever be remembered as D-Day.

To pay homage to those heroes of the original D-Day, we decided that the first dress theme was that of fatigues, camo and smiles.

There are dress themes set for every day this production season, be on the lookout for each day's winners.

Today's winners were:

Our Producer Rita Peruggi, congratulations!


She was wearing her brothers ACTUAL Army uniform!

Our Chief Lighting Technician Avi Roffman, hoo-rah!


Great job acting the part today, he was saluting everyone left-and-right!

Here's a great group shot of everyone that decided to dress the part, thanks guys!



Like I mentioned, shooting started today. We had a really great 1st day, with plenty more to go. I can't mention any spoilers, but be sure you all are in for a treat in season 3!

So Long Paul!

Today we say goodbye to Paul Meshreky. A dear friend I first worked with at Paul Frank Industries who joined the Yo Gabba Gabba team at the beginning of Season 2. Paul continued to assistant me through the YGG's off season on merchandise and licensing stuff. Aside from being the most Egyptian friend I've ever had, Paul's a dedicated hard worker, hilarious buddy to everyone, master of the "awkward hug", and voted Most Eligible Coptic Bachelor of the Decade. That's right ladies, the quadruple threat! You might also notice Paul's design work from super cool clothing company, Toddland!

Paul, I miss you already and I wish you the best in your future.
