We were given a fake client, Benjamin Cook, and the brief was to create a Christmas-themed advert. Since Benjamin Cook was an antiques and furniture company, we decided setting the advert in someone's home would be a good idea. We had a robin fall down a chimney and a young boy treat it and send it back out, to where Santa Claus is waiting on the roof. I liked our advert as it had a very sentimental feeling to it.
The animators in the group divided up shots between us. I was given a shot of the boy holding the bird, and then one of Santa Claus on the roof chuckling. I think my frames came out pretty well but I was a bit disappointed that most of the workload fell onto the animation students when it was supposed to be a collaboration between the whole of SOFT.
Here is our finished advert:
