Toronto Zoo Polar Bears – be sure to see them ads

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Last month, maybe the one before, I spent a couple of days working on a commercial directed by Matthew Walker for Toronto Zoo. There were four spots in all but you can see the one I did below:

Was a lot of fun to do especially because it’s a bit like Matt’s short film John and Karen which I really like and which you can see a clip of here: http://vimeo.com/1922334

Directed by Matthew Walker, produced at Arthur Cox for Aardman animations for Lowe Roche for Toronto Zoo.

The TATE Movie Project

For a few months this year I’ve been working away on the character design and animation for the TATE Movie Project website. Today is the launch day so you can go see it all and have a look around the virtual film studio at www.TATEmovie.co.uk!

To find out more about what it is all about there is a good article on Creative Review – will be interesting to see how it all turns out!

It’s directed by Sarah Cox of Arthur Cox Ltd; Robin Davey did the backgrounds; and it was all put together by lots of clever people at Aardman Digital who are hopefully resting their brains for a little bit now.

I chose the band Sigur Rós because I had a friend in university who kissed a girl on an A-road over-pass in the rain one night, and he said it was so incredibly emotional he imagined a movie camera spinning around them both while the sparkling rain fell in slow motion and Sigur Rós played. I found that funny and wanted to show how people match their surroundings and experiences with music, and vice versa.
Here it is:
