barrett meeker : creative director Making video games was a lifelong dream of Lucky Pause founder Barrett Meeker. He grew up playing games and computer programming, loving games like Monkey Island, The Dig, and more recently Shadow of the Colossus. He was hired straight out of college to be an artist at Blur Studios in Venice, California, creating computer-generated (CG) art for commercials, video games, and film. Along the way he was lead artist on the Dante’s superbowl commercial, the Blur Goon pitch and co-directed the popular short film Grounded with Kevin Margo, winning awards around the world. After eight years at Blur and one year at a video game company, he decided to finally launch his own company.
