Guitar Pickin' Chicken

First Shorts Competition Award Winner
WSTL Festival Exceptional Award Winner

The “Guitar Pickin’ Chicken” was originally created and included in an Art Box Kids package delivered to the children at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. The Art Box Kids is a non-profit started by Cleveland Browns Center Steve Everett. With no promotion, we discovered that the song received a Half Million Radio Station site plays. Prior to, ,and following the music video teachers of autistic children, as well as other teachers, used the song in their classroom. From the very first play children do the “Guitar Pickin’ Chicken Dance”; that is a dance they make up.

After the success on radio an animation music video was created. Derrian Childress, a 3D modeler and graphic designer, developed the animation.
