Producers Tyra Hanshaw and Cara Buckley have joined the production department at Click 3x. Both Hanshaw, who arrives from Berwyn Editorial, and Buckley, formerly with Spontaneous, have broad experience in producing visual effects, animation and other post work. At Click 3x, they will produce both commercial and broadcast design projects.
Citing their experience in visual effects and editorial work, Click 3x exec producer Jason Mayo said, "They are young, very bright and bring tremendous enthusiasm to their work. We expect to make maximum use of their talents, imagination and drive in meeting the needs of our growing clientele."
Most recently, Hanshaw served as graphics and design manager at Berwyn Editorial, after joining the company in 2002 as a post producer. Her credits included an international commercial campaign for Intel, as well as spots for Spray & Wash, MCI, Volvo and Lean Cuisine. Her background also includes four years with Click 3x' former office in Atlanta, originally as operations manager, later as executive producer. In addition to producing work for such clients as McDonald's, Coke, Ford and Discovery, she was responsible for managing the facility, overseeing personnel, operational and administrative activities. A graduate of the State College of New York, New Paltz, Hanshaw began her career with Peachtree Post in Atlanta.
"I am thrilled at the opportunity to return to high end visual effects work," said Hanshaw of her return to Click 3x. "The talent and technology that this studio has assembled is truly impressive and they are engaged in very exciting projects. It is a wonderful place to broaden my experience and to continue to develop my skills."
A graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz, Buckley worked at Miramax Films and Motion Over Time, before joining Rhinoceros Editorial as an operations assistant in 2001. She joined Spontaneous last year and there earned credit as an assistant producer on commercials for Gushers (Saatchi & Saatchi, New York), Spiegel (Badger Kry & Partners, New York), and Panasonic (Grey Advertising, New York). She also produced a music video for Hennessey.
Buckley said that Click 3x offers her an opportunity to broaden her experience. "Click 3x draws exceptional assignments from all areas of the business and I look forward to the challenge that comes with such a diversity of work."
