Too technical for the arts, too creative for the sciences; Chris Smith, Jesse Casey, and Michelle Higa knew they had to work together as soon as they met. They funneled their collective love of music, computer science and semiotics into the world of animation, and Mixtape Club was born.

With a fondness for character-based storytelling, Mixtape Club has created work for a wide variety of clients, including music videos for My Morning Jacket, TV on the Radio, J Dilla, Yeasayer and most recently Passion Pit.

The members of Mixtape Club believe their diverse interests and talents together produce something more powerful than the sum of their parts, leading to inevitable arguments as to whether they more closely resemble Voltron, Captain Planet or the Wu-Tang Clan.

Today, when they aren't trying to beat the Frogger high score at the bar around the corner, Mixtape Club looks for every opportunity to expand its creative abilities and commercial experience.
