  • New Skittles Walrus Riddles TV Commercial AD

    New Skittles Walrus Riddles TV Commercial AD

    You walk in to your apartment to find your roommate making out with a walrus — what's your first thought? You wonder if the trollop has stolen your boyfriend, that's what. Or at least that's the story in the latest spot from Skittles Riddles, featuring VFX from MPC, who collaborated with DDB Chicago and Moxie Pictures Director Martin Granger on the effort.

    This bizarre story continues with the accused explaining that the walrus, an enormous animatronic custom built by Moorpark, California's Animal Makers Inc., had assured her that he wasn't her roommate's boyfriend Bobby. Rather, he was like new Skittles Riddles — different on the outside than on the inside. She demonstrates by punching in a green-tinted candy that tastes like fruit punch, before continuing her googley-eyed romp-fest with the walrus.

    MPC's biggest challenge was to make the animatronic walrus appear to be real, breathing life into the animal. The team created 3D eyes and eyelids for the walrus in post, while tracking and animating every move. After creating elaborate matte paintings that doubled the size of the walrus mass, MPC added flesh and fat, animated the nose, made the walrus' jaw move, added a tongue and neck fat, made his face twitch, belly quiver, time warped his head, and added breath to the animal. Telecine was done by MPC's US Creative Director of Color Grading, Mark Gethin.

  • WestJet Surprise Christmas Flash Mob

    WestJet Surprise Christmas Flash Mob

    Maybe we've seen enough Flash Mob campaigns to make us want to stab our eyes out with dull pencils dipped in melted Skittles, but just one more and I promise this one is good.

    WestJet Airlines flash-mobbed an airport lounge-full of late-night travelers at Calgary International Airport with carols, Santa, elves and, from the looks of it, a bit of a giveaway. The red eye to Toronto has probably never been so sparkly.

    WestJet says it will donate flights to “a family in need” once the video reaches 25,000 views which it did very easily already.
