Welcome to the official home of R29 Shorts, brought to you by the fine folks at Rule29.
Can you eat two funnel cakes and a corn dog in under ten minutes? That was the challenge participants faced in this year's Greasy Biathlon. What would it take for you to enter this stomach-filling, heartattack-inducing contest?
Here at Rule29, we encourage the use of a variety of typefaces. However, there are some that are frowned upon. For instance, we wouldn't use #$%& if it was the last typeface on Earth. You wouldn't use &^%@#, would you?
Have you ever wondered how that majestic 29 Reasons 2 Vote poster was made? With hard work, determination, sweat, and tears; that's how. Rule29 was privileged to journey to the Utopia paper mill in Appleton, WI to help create the poster that you can get from 29reasons2vote.com. Go show your patriotic pride and request yours today!
Here at Rule29, we are fond of nicknames, and every now and then a new name emerges from our collective creative brain for someone in the studio...do you have a nickname? What is it? Come on you can share.
We love The Office...so much here is our version.
With a new year ahead of us, the design monkeys at Rule29 bring about a newly edited reel. Get a glimpse at our studio while we share our thoughts on making creative matter.
If you thought the iPhone could do it all, it can! PhoneSaber is the best way to resolve the next dilemma in your office.

To be continued...
What better way to top off an eventful week (see insanity) here at Rule29 than with a group Hi-5. When the tough gets going, Rule29 gets Hi-5ing! And when we finally succeed and complete a project, we like to celebrate with a big group Hi-5. We deserve several Hi-5's after this wickedly busy (and fun) week. We also keep things fresh by inventing new Hi-5's, our favorites include the Foot-5, the Windmill-5, the Air-5, and the Slow reflection-5.
Like the lonely hermit crab growing out of its shell, Rule29 has grown beyond what our quaint 3rd Street office can contain. We have searched high and low for that perfect new office. Fortunately, we found it just 1,158 feet down the street.
We get a lot of stuff shipped to us here at Rule29. Our favorite items are packaged in what many would consider the most beautiful musical instrument in the modern age – bubble wrap. Our new blinds came with a plethora of bubble wrap to keep them in one piece. While we are grateful they arrived whole, we may have enjoyed the packaging more...
There is no better use for a set of stairs than a good, old-fashioned Slinky race. Here at the R29 house, our staircase is specially engineered for optimum Slinky performance... unfortunately, that makes it a bear to walk up and down.. but we make due. But make no mistake, we do not endorse excessive gambling in the office... all of our winnings will be donated to Life in Abundance.
There is a time in every intern's life when they must ask themselves, "How many shirts can I wear at one time?" Recently, this moment was captured when Craig, the intern, achieved what many of us thought was impossible – he was able to successfully wear 29 t-shirts... in addition to handling the bonus round at the end like a champ.

(Now this may be the longest R29 Short out there, but as you'll see, we just couldn't bear to lose any of this fantastic footage. Stick around for the end, you won't be disappointed!)

Let this be a lesson to all aspiring interns out there: never give up, even when you're wearing 29 shirts and can barely keep your balance.
Here at Rule29, we encourage people to go that extra mile to achieve their dreams. With the addition of the new mini-basketball hoop in the office, Dan has been working on his dunks. From the "Tomahawk" to the "Around the Clock", he is honing his skills on our court. Recently, we were able to catch a special moment in his training...
Ever wonder what it's like to strap a sled to your chest and try to jump to catch a Nerf football in falling snow? We thought you might, so we sent out our brave intern, Craig, to see how he would do. Unfortunately, (hopefully) due to the falling snow - and the fact that he had a sled strapped to his chest - he didn't fare too well. Not enough speed!

The American Red Cross wanted to have a video that took a positive, friendly look at the process of donating blood. The result was an inside look at the process using behind the scenes footage and dynamic graphics. And for the sqeemish, don't worry, there's no blood.
The American Red Cross wanted to create a thirty second television spot that highlighted the impact that one person can have when they donate blood. We created this spot to highlight the relationships and lives that can be impacted by giving a pint of blood and an hour of your time.
Check out Rule29's stop animation video highlighting the various ways we can help in your branding, print, advertising, packaging, web, video, social media and promotional needs. We took several thousand frames and a couple weeks to bring this creative matter to you. Give us a shout and lets talk about how we can help tell your story. Email us today at mail@rule29.com
When Sears started a new retail endeavor, they enlisted Rule29 to help create a unique, fun video that provides customers with an inside look at how the MyGofer process works.
