Hi Phil, I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how impressed I was with all your efforts on the animated ad. As I was working on it I couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly you picked up what is a very complex and counter-intuitive process in its early stages of understanding, and what a nightmare it must have been to block out a very elaborate ad, we really threw you in the deep end! I gave one of my other projects (the goose) to a mate who is a real gun flash animator and very computer savvy to work over, he took one look at it and backed out of the deal, so you must be made of firmer stuff!
I know the project was all story boarded (such as it was) but your selection of cut points for scenes and a lot of the timings were perfect, I didn’t touch any of the scene breaks, and it flows beautifully for such heavily visually loaded ad.
