Red Bull advert/ Production

The texturing was quite a challenging part of the production, because I had to paint them to match the 2d visuals. I wanted to have a similar style to the Mac 'n' Cheese animation, Colorbleed, so I experimented on different painting techniques and especially with the brush strokes. I was pretty happy with the end result and matched to our initial idea for the project.

Modelling the characters and the assets was a pretty straight-forward process. I kept the polys to a reasonable for the animation count and because we were going for a 2d cartoonish style and not trying to achieve realism, I didn't have to reach extremely high number of polygones.

ZBrush WORK IN PROGRESS

Moving on, and while we're still at the Pre-production of the project, I started some ZBrush sketches to check the proportions of the characters and also research further the concept ideas.

My initial sketches and concepts for the characters of the advert. Our idea for it was to have a window cleaner character that would fall from the top of huge building desperately trying to catch a Red Bull can during his fall, while his "enemy", a seagull, would take the can away from him. And as a result the guy would land to a skip down in the street.

Sketching different head types, we wanted to be a tired from his work character, mid-age, but funny at the same time.
