Onitsuka Tiger: Zodiac Race

 Pandapanther zodiac race

Check out this amazingly fun and creative spot done by the New York studio PandaPanther.

This action and comedy packed animation is to celebrate Onitsuka Tiger 60th anniversary, a milestone of major significance to Japanese culture that is laden with symbolism around the “Cycle of Life”.  Amsterdam Worldwide has created a campaign to celebrate the Zodiac Legend of the race of the sacred animals to secure spots on the Zodiac calendar.

A remarkable blend of 3d, 2d, and stop motion animation.  With 3d characters interacting on a stopmotion set, topped off with classically animated FX, make this spot very entertaining and unique ideed.

Enjoy!

You should also check out the making of video as well!

For the Geek in all of us

If anyone watches the Superbowl, you may have seen yet another brilliant Coke commercail by Weiden+Kennedy Portlan, Directed by Smith & Foulkes (Nexus Productions).

I find the images really beautiful and true to the digital life most of us seem to be leading these days.  Almost everyone having an alternate digital identity.

 Coke ad - Digital animation transformation

I was impressed by the initial trasition animations from real life into the digital.  And all the characters throughout are unique in their own way.  I love the little guy bumping into the door of the cafe.  Great stuff.

The sound track is “Stranger in the Crowd” performed by Cee-Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley (and originally made famous by Elvis Presley).

Psyop Coke commercial

The talented people at Psyop and Weiden+Kennedy Portland teamed up create another epic tale of longing for Coke.

Beautiful character animation and compositing work in this ad for Coke.  Makes you think of what Bugs Life may have looked like with a more realistic approach!  Great stuff.
