Tinker Bell is projected onto a giant screen behind actors on the 'mouse guys' cruise ship as the finale of the stage show. The cowboy, before and after, is from a commercial we produced for the American Cancer Society. TGW.com is running a spot we animated to advertise their Christmas specials. The animation was produced like it was the interior of a greeting card. The camera moves through the layers via multi-plane animation. Delta V is a robotic character we created to teach car buyers how airbags work. A Message From God is a series of shorts where kids relate bible stories to their lives. The coloring book style animation represents how the kids see the stories. Mr. Bicycle Man stars in a series of PSA/Music Videos for Gina D's Kids Club. We animated the live action people via pixelation, frame-by-frame movements. This gives their movements a more animated look. The animated sneezers over live action for the Cold-Eeze commercials had the live action shot on a mock-up plane interior at the Disney-MGM Studios. This is the same plane that Passenger 57 was shot on. We animated over live actors, making sure to cover them completely with the animation, and comically enhancing their action. My Wife is Pregnant is a series of shorts we produce which humorously deals with the trials and tribulations of pregnancy and newborns on Moms and Dads. Sale! is a pixelation/special effects spot where the actor pulls the sign out of mid-air. The goofy walking man features 2D animation on 2D objects in a 3D environment with 3D lighting... It's too cool.. Photo-animation using 2D elements in a 3D environment.
