Toblerone “Christmas”

Posted by Mat on Nov 11, 2008 in Featured, Projects | 2 comments

Toblerone “Christmas” is a new 15 second character spot from Hatch Studios. The ad features four stylized characters in an equally stylized Toblerone world where various objects throughout the environment appear to have the Toblerone bite taken out of it.

I worked on this project with PEN Productions. PEN was hired to do character modeling, unwrapping, rigging, and skinning. I supervised production in these four areas. Others involved with the project on PEN’s end include Paul Neale, Eric Harvey, Felipe Nogueira, Wendy Rozycki, David Emirzian, and Corey Hayes. Below is the list of full credits.

Robin Hood “County Fair” is a new character spot from Hatch Studios. This is the 4th in a continuing series of ads featuring the characters Elizabeth and Andrew.

I worked on this project through PEN Productions, who was called on to provide rigging and skinning for the three principle characters. I worked along side Paul Neale, Felipe Nogueira, and Eric Harvey on the project. Credits from Hatch’s website are below.

Pinky Dinky Doo Season 2

Posted by Mat on Nov 2, 2008 in Featured, Projects | 0 comments

I worked on Season 2 of the popular children’s television series, Pinky Dinky Doo. This season of the show was produced at Keyframe Digital Productions in association with Sesame Workshop and Cartoon Pizza.

I worked as lead technical director from September, 2007 to September, 2008 on the production.  The goal of the show was to achieve a 2D, Flash-cartoon inspired look, inside of a 3D world.  This seems simple in concept, but sure enough it was much more complex than initially anticipated.  The production presented many unique problems that required a lot of creative thinking to solve.
