catColorado-based Worker Studio and KDM Productions recently received a Platinum EMPixx Award for The Cleaning. The Cleaning is a live-action/animation promotional film, for Delta Dental of Colorado, to teach children the benefits of eating healthy and taking care of their teeth. 

The Tooth Fairy calls on her trusty animated sidekick, Chopper (Delta Dental of Colorado's Mascot), to do a clean sweep throughout the house after she finds a rotten tooth left by a young boy. Instead of money, the boy receives a lesson that only the Tooth Fairy and Chopper can teach. 

The judges of the EMPixx Awards had this to say about The Cleaning: "Outstanding opening...holds attention...excellent blend of live- action and animation...great concept...well produced."

The Cleaning was produced and edited by KDM Productions' Kevin Mauch, and directed by Worker Studio's Michael "Ffish" Hemschoot; the animation and visual effects were completed by Worker Studio. This project was created with the intent of sending it all over the state of Colorado, along with a CD-Rom filled with lesson plans, coloring pages and more, to school districts and dental offices.
