Here is a fun animated television commercial we created for a non-partisan political website sponsored by a local news organization.

For some added fun, I’ve included the rough pencil test animation below.
You can see how it is not fully smoothed out with inbetween animation. This is for posing and pacing and acting. I enjoyed playing the character of the two, and attempted to make their motions and speech interesting beyond simple mouth movements.
Once the staging was complete I would go on to finish the inbetween frames to get the animation looking smooth.
Then I would go over everything a final time in full color.
After that each character was output in full on it’s own. They would be reassemble later in post production where the whip-pan and other motion effects were added.
