It’s been a wild February at ODDMACHINE: We completed renovations to our 10,000 sq. ft. stage, moved our production and post teams back under one roof, and wrapped our first shoot in the newly-designed space. It feels good to be odd. Come by for a tour, free drinks, and high-fives. https://oddmachine.com

It was a thrill to collaborate with the legendary Fonco Studios, puppeteer Jonathan Kidder and DPs Damian Horan and Gregory Wayne Hinchman , you are the specialty parts.

fun soup to nuts spot from 2017 directed by Seth Henrikson for FCB Chicago shot at our stage.

The 1973 Odd Machine concept car was destined to change the automobile industry forever. The hyper efficient design allowed the vehicle to hover above the road for long distances. The onboard computer was a highly advanced AI prototype that calculated routes, analyzed traffic and made witty comments in a stodgy British accent without sounding condescending. Unfortunately the AI evolved beyond it's creators limits and the only prototype abandoned the planet after learning about the impending oil crisis. Various amateur astronomers have spotted the vehicle in orbit six times in the last 48 years, the most being in July of 2014. Each sighting has confirmed the condition is still highly functional and increasingly adorned with fresh bumper stickers.

Truly an odd machine.
