Disney "Parachutes" TV Ad

Pencil Test Studios, the new animation house I opened with Ed Schofield (mentioned below), recently finished work on a commercial for Disneyland Paris. It was a fun project, combining live action, CG and hand drawn animation all to great effect. The main production company was Motion Theory, who directed the spot and handled the very challenging compositing work. The hand drawn animation was provided by Duck Studios and we handled all the animation of Woody and Buzz. All the other CG Pixar characters were created by pulling existing animation from Pixar films and compositing them into the spot.

We don't have the spot up on the Pencil Test Studios site yet, but Motion Theory just posted it on theirs. You can check it out here.
