Oscar and Emmy-Nominated PES is the creator of some of the most widely viewed stop-motion films of all-time including Fresh Guacamole, Western Spaghetti, Submarine Sandwich, Game Over, Human Skateboard, KaBoom! and Roof Sex. On his YouTube Channel alone, PES's films have been viewed over 1.4 billion times. PES's uncanny knack for transforming familiar objects and people through stop-motion animation has earned him global recognition and dozens of honors, including an Academy Award® nomination for Fresh Guacamole in 2013. (At 1 minute 40 seconds, Fresh Guacamole is the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar, as confirmed by The New York Times and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences). Now, with over a billion+ consolidated views online, Fresh Guacamole is the most-viewed Oscar short in history. PES is the originator of "the stop-motion cooking film" genre with his short film Western Spaghetti in 2008. Western Spaghetti earned Time Magazine's #2 Viral Video of the Year in 2008 as well as the Audience Award at Annecy in 2009. PES's three stop-motion cooking shorts -- Western Spaghetti (2008), Fresh Guacamole (2012) and Submarine Sandwich (2014) -- have spawned thousands of copycat works online and established "the-stop-motion-cooking-film-with-substituted objects" as a popular meme. In addition to his original content, PES has also directed over 75 commercials for major international brands including Corona, Honda, Android, Orange Telecom, Kinder Surprise, PlayStation, Sprint, Samsung and Bacardi. Some of these commercials have became viral hits on YouTube reaching into the hundreds of millions of views. In 2016, PES received an Emmy® Award nomination for his commercial Honda "Paper", a 2-minute stop-motion tour de force showcasing the 50-year history of the Honda Motor Company. The spot earned numerous ad industry awards including the One Show's "Automobile Advertising of the Year Award." It was also recently added to the permanent collection at both the Louvre's Museum of Advertising and The Museum of Modern Art.

Carolyne always seeks to find an authentic connection with her subjects and is passionate about the ability of visual storytelling to tell an accurate and powerful narrative. Carolyne began her journey as a photographer and visual storyteller in college; the magic chemistry of a white sheet of paper slowly developing into an image as the chemistry washed over was addicting and she changed her major Fine Art after struggling and failing with a Biology major and not being interested in the career aspects of a History degree. After university Carolyne worked as an assistant to photographer Jay Reilly, a photo editor for Sumner Photography, and assistant editor for photographer Joy Doherty, and she was the Lead BTS Still Photographer on the feature-length film To Save A Life (2009). After taking a journalism class at the local community college, Carolyne was asked if she wanted to intern at the San Diego Union-Tribune where she worked as an intern in the photo department of the News section. Her first brush with photojournalism she was hooked, previously not realizing her love of documentary photography and real-time history could be combined. After the internship, she continued to take classes in journalism and even was the Photo Editor at the Palomar College's student newspaper the Chariot. During this period Carolyne worked as a server and bartender throughout north San Diego County, honing her social skill set, learning how to interact with people, and getting them to like and trust her immediately. With her husband, they started a screen-printing company called Noble Ink where they made the merchandise for local music acts in San Diego. Through her time in the food industry, Carolyne backpacked through Europe, Mexico, and the United States, and also took the time to pursue her own personal projects covering the migrant caravan, wild horse roundups, and the sociological and ecological impact of Burning Man. Once the pandemic hit, Carolyne saw her restaurant close down and all of her freelance photography gigs canceled, she realized it was her one chance to be able to throw herself into studying filmmaking and storytelling. Again she enrolled in classes at her local community college, learning filmmaking, editing, and motion graphics. In the spring of 2020, she began an internship at KOCT - The Voice of North County, a local non-profit public access channel and production house starting as an audio technician and moving up to camera operating, floor directing, and teleprompter. She expanded her skill set to include focus pulling and slate as an Assistant Camera while working on several short films and a feature film in Los Angeles in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Currently, Carolyne works as the Lead Production Staff at KOCT and is the lead Videographer/Editor at San Diego LabRats.
