Ernest Brand Anthem

Meet Dudley, The talking donut that loves everything to do with packaging. While bringing Dudley to life the creative team at Ernest only had one condition, "we want to use a real donut." After buying (and eating) dozens of donuts, and taking photos of them in my kitchen from almost every angle, I created a faux stop motion character rig in after effects.

For the rest of the video I used a combination photo collage, cel animation, some light 3D work. So that by the end of the project I had used almost every kind of animation there is.
