This winter we had the great opportunity to animated a 5 x 15 second advertising campaign for SaskEnergy and Phoenix Group. These commercials are about energy efficiency and were a blast to animate.

We used a combination of Flash, After Effects, 3d Studio Max, and Photoshop to create the spots.

Part of what I think makes them look so great is the combination of incredibly well painted backgrounds (Hats off to Jordan Ratzlaff - he really is an amazing painter and illustrator) combined with subtle camera movement and multiple planes of 3d animated environmental effects.

It was fun to make these spots because we had the time and budget to pour a lot of effort into a very short period of screen time.
