Credit card commercial
While ago, I worked for the bank credit card commercial. It was a fantastic experience working with many different special talented people at Collider.
Here is their page:
Collider worked closely with origami artist Midori Furze to develop this spot for NAB Credit Cards. We recreated each of Furze’s two-times scaled paper models in CG and animated the folding in the spirit of stop-motion animation by using 3D blend-shapes.
