KHOU Stands for Houston

Good Day Halloween

I'm excited to share this piece of creative that came out of my department here in Sacramento.

Actually, it came out of one genius of a man - Mike Wiebe, our senior producer.

He did everything on this project -- from the script, to the drawing and animation to the scoring/sound effects.

My job was to get out of his way and let him do what he does best!

It was an overwhelming hit with the viewers.  It was something they really connected with.

I hope you enjoy!
