Howdy folks!
The latest spot in Janimation's ad campaign for Al Boenker Insurance can be viewed here! It features a new character that was quite a lot of fun to work with. :D
I was again responsible for Pre-Vis and Layout. Greg Punchatz and Mitch Lotierzo worked with Face Robot to handle the lip-sync while I handled much of the the body animation of these two characters.
I learned quite a lot from this project. Mostly that Alligator Wrestling is not only something that humans do, but is considered a sporting event with some historical roots. I honestly had no idea, despite living in Florida for roughly 5 years!
Also, in pouring over reference, I learned that alligators and crocodiles are simultaneously goofy and terrifying at top running speed:

That's it for now! Thanks for stopping by. :)
