Blur Studio, a production studio specializing in 3-D animation and visual effects, has added Tim Brown to its staff, as creative director.
Brown, a former creative director at the Hollywood-based design and animation house ReZ.n8 Productions, will serve as co-creative director for Blur’s graphic design division, with Jennifer Miller.
Brown had been with ReZ.n8 since 1993, and his credits there included CBS’ fall 2000 campaign, marking the third straight year that he had served as creative director for the network’s primetime promo package. He was also part of the design team that created a graphics package for CBS’ coverage of the ’98 Winter Olympics.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris stepped on the NAACP Image Awards stage Saturday night with a sobering message, calling the civil rights organization a pillar of the Black community and urging people to stay resilient and hold onto their faith during the tenure of President Donald Trump.
"While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter in our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the oval office nor by the wealthiest among us," Harris said after receiving the NAACP's Chairman's Award.

The 56th annual Image Awards was held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in the Los Angeles area.
Harris, defeated by Trump in last year's presidential election, was the first woman and the first person of color to serve as vice president. She had previously been a U.S. senator from California and the state's attorney general.
In her first major public appearance since leaving office, Harris did not reference her election loss or Trump's actions since entering the Oval Office, although Trump mocked her earlier in the day at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Harris spoke about eternal vigilance, the price of liberty, staying alert, seeking the truth and America's future.
"Some see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy and ask 'What do we do now?'" Harris said. "But we know exactly what to do, because we have done it before. And we will do it again. We use our power. We organize, mobilize. We educate. We advocate. Our power has never come from having an easy path."
