"Gladiator (the Presentation)" is the first spot in this campaign for the UPS store.  I was fortunate to be able to co-lead animation on this one.

Check it out here.  You can also see the video and the full credit list via motionographer or find it in Stash 56.

The following screen grabs represent the shots I animated:

The second spot "Circus (the Rescue)" had some unique challenges.  We passed one object between over ten characters, had shots over 6 seconds long, and had somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 characters uniquely hand animated in one shot.

The following screen grabs represent the shots I animated:

While we were working full force on Circus production of the third spot "Wild West (the Close Call)" overlapped the majority of the schedule. Although I didn't physically animate any of the hero action, shortly after Circus wrapped I took over supervision throughout the rest of the animation timeline.

More info at Motionographer.

Finally "Storm (the Deadline)" probably had the greatest technical challenge in the water that were solved with a combination of packages and proprietary tools.
