Live-action director, creative director and editor Eric Anderson has joined MPC Creative, the content production division of MPC, as creative director. Anderson, who joins from LOGAN, is a two-time Emmy Award winner for his opening title sequence work on the series “Dexter” and “Six Feet Under.”
After earning a BFA in film and interdisciplinary studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Anderson quickly found success forming Pachyderm Studio where he handled many iconic ’90s alt-rock albums, notably Nirvana’s “In Utero,” PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me,” and Soul Asylum’s multi-platinum “Grave Dancers Union.” From music, Anderson transitioned to editing and creative directing at Digital Kitchen where he enjoyed a 12-year tenure. He first worked in that company’s Seattle operation before setting up its Chicago shop.
Anderson’s interest in the entertainment and advertising industry brought him to Los Angeles. He is currently Governor of the Motion + Title Design peer group for the Primetime Emmy Awards at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Among his credits, Anderson has worked on a number of opening titles for feature films from the “Green Lantern” to HBO’s “Banksy does New York” as well as Ilya Naishuller’s upcoming movie “Hardcore.” His commercial work includes the charming Adobe “Echosign” spot, which was captured entirely in-camera, and campaigns for brands such as Target, Bud Light, KOHLER, Coors, and Nike.
