Hey there Steemit! I wanted to share some "Behind the Scenes" footage from a commercial I had shot a while back for Buzzfeed, called "Lettuce Turnip the Beet!" a two-minute long stop motion spot for Newman's Own, and filmed at my studio in Los Angeles.
Here's the finished commercial:
The production took roughly 6 weeks to complete and was shot with a 4-man crew: Including myself (Co-Animation Director), Drayson Helberg (Co-Animation Director), Derek Ortega (Animation Assistant), and Charles Corbin (DP). Here are some shots of the finished characters:
Cool:
DJ Baby Bok Choy:
Sweet Pea:
Bartender Green:
Here's the initial comp of all the characters together. I think they translated very well into 3D characters:
Next post I'll get into the actual making of the characters i.e. materials used, the process, etc. If you have any questions regarding the process let me know in the comments below and I'll try to incorporate it into my next post. I don't really want to get super technical unless it's requested.
Thanks for peepin!
