TBS - Little Caesars

For this :20 spot promoting Little Caesars, TBS wanted the piece to reflect its mixed media aesthetic, a mix of 2D illustrations and photo real elements.

Because we only had a few weeks to complete the piece, we started with the character design to determine a look that could be quickly animated with added lipflap once we received the final VO. After testing a few styles for the environment, we landed on a New York City loft look with photo assets for furnishings.
