Process & BTS time-lapse of the Gnarly Ghost piece!

Many elements were shot individually as static camera shots or with repeated motion using our "Cube" motion control system.
Tracking markers are used with a combo of 3D & 2D elements to fill out and complete a rich world.

Oxygen made a little behind the scenes piece about he xmas vid we finished

Well hohoholysh*t Oxygen put together a cute little #BTS for our #animation made with JoshMahan and the team at Mosomos . As you can see so much work was put into it for #Santa to jingle his b❄️lls. It all started as scripts and my #drawings for the #design and #storyboards before the whole team came together to #fabricate and #animate our own tiny #Tinseltown . Thank you Oxygen and the whole team!

Prepping for the trunk pov shot
This was a fun one playing with perspective, framing and lighting.
You can also see clearly how we "built for camera" and didnt build more than we needed to for the shot.
Great job guys!

Here are some photos of our custom motion control cube system. It can travel 12'x12'x4' with pan tilt and follow focus. It's a project @realitytax tax built recently and we're continuing to put it through the ropes! Special thanks to Brian Haimes portfolio who built the cable management system and a clean and simplified enclosure for the Moco drivers (and gave me a great key start, ignition button and emergency "kill switch")

We also have a variety of other gear including long and short run Moco track systems, a precision Moco turntable, and a lot of custom build options to suit any creative needs you can think of.

Also thanks again to all the great creators on this recent Santa project.

@list_pete animation magic!
Peter really nailed it and gave these puppets a higher degree of life than I hoped for. @fatchristensen jumped onboard to animate the last shot of stumbling santa which also turned out amazing! Thanks guys!!
