B3D is currently in production on two short films.
Wingmen -
A squadron of WWII inspired bumblebees are on a mission to scout and return with pollen to their beloved Queen and Hive mates. Their journey is not without consequence as they must dodge fields of anti-aircraft blood squirting mosquitos, spider-laid web traps, and dogfight mid-air with full-metal yellow jackets. All in a days work for the high flying full throttle air team of - 'Wingmen'
Wingmen - Episode I - 'Sting it and Wing It' - is expected to be completed late-2008.
(An animatic is intended to establish a moving story board for the film before time is invested in animating and rendering, making sure the film's composition effectively drives the story-telling process.)

Damn Tourists - The muse`ical
Like 'CARMA', 'Damn Tourists' is an experience-inspired short film. While attending college I was working full-time as the General Manager of a boutique hotel in downtown San Francisco for 8 years, and I felt the need to generate my own frustrations with the general public's ignorance of the tourism industry and the people responsible for creating a vacation atmosphere for them.
'Damn Tourists' is set as a day in the life of the people that work behind the scenes of the hospitality industry. 'Damn Tourists' is a Hip-Hop style music video that tells the story of the people responsible for creating a pleasant experience for tourists.
'Damn Tourists' takes you through a tour of Holiday Manor- a luxury hotel set atop a floating asteroid in space that caters to intergalactic travelers. Just as you arrive at the hotel you are greeted by the bellmen who whisk your luggage away and escort you to the front desk for check-in, but instead of catering to your needs, the employees of Holiday Manor take this opportunity to tell you how it really is, and the annoying things they have to put up with from weary tourists. Anyone who has ever worked in the hospitality industry will identify with the hilariously crude but true lyrics and visuals, told from the employees' angle.
This ten minute short is written and directed by Brando Benaway and features an original beat composed by Brando and lyrics delivered by CitizenTen, Mike Rockwell, Brent Benaway, and Brando himself. Brando has 10 years experience working in hotels and has spent the last eight years as a hotel GM.
Damn Tourists is expected to be completed early 2009.
