This spot for Turner Classic Movies by Fresh Paint is full of subtle and effective visual effects that tie together a montage of classic movie moments. A scene-within-a-scene blend of animation and choreographed action by a silhouetted crew of stagehands, the spot shows off the ability of animation to enhance and build on live-action. There are quick moments of rain, smoke, and lighting shifts which are also joined by waves, glass shattering and explosions – which are all integrated in the concept. The spot’s also 2 minutes long and was made for Cinema in about 4 weeks, so now I’m even more impressed.
Fresh Paint is the design / animation / live-action directing team of Kevin Robinson and Mike Papagani and are part of Curious Pictures‘ roster.
EDIT: I had this in the Quickies section but moved it over because it definitely deserves a bit more notice.
