I find it very intriguing and fun, seeing a woman walking through town, with different clothes during a certain time of day, visually inviting and fun.

I adore the technique you used for this mini commercial short.

This has given me a bit more inspiration, thank you.

Very awesome job, keep up the Awesome work love to see more.

Awesome spot. Loved the caracter designs, very appealing.

Wow, that was great!

It had a really nice, airy feel. Great character design, colours and animation.
Nice physical feeling to the cloth too.

Great job!

[joshcxa]

Looks great!
I can't work out who the character is based on :(

[Zoober]

Great work, really nailed the window-shopper mall stride on the girl all through the piece.

[Thaller]

Great job guys. I saw this on TV the other night, and thought that looked pretty cool...
Even looks like the Adelaide Mall. Nice Characters. :beer:

Congrats.

Hey guys,

thanks for all the great comments. The animation wasn't created at a HD resolution, just 1024 x 576. But for those of you who are keen, i have put up a 5mb h.264 *.mov version you can download at:

as for the girl, here's a hint: she's married to Borat ;)

cheers

[Kev3D]

Great work guys, I recognised all the little details. Really cool to see them modelled in 3D.

[JoshBowman]

Great work, really nailed the window-shopper mall stride on the girl all through the piece.

Yeah the girl was completely animated by Brodie McCrossin with most of the background characters animated by Daniel Kmet, I was working on another project but I ended up doing a couple of characters as well (kids chasing leaves (and leaves) and the guy that hands the girl the flower).

[joshcxa]

Oh, Isla Fisher. I'll watch it again now

[pnyozzzoo]

Love this piece, enjoy watching it over again and again.

[Kalee]

This probably won't ad anything, but great job. I loved the transitions during the seasons. The flow of which was just very nice. I did sometimes lose track of how the lady was moving, there was just so much to see in the background. I'll just have to wtch it 5 times oh poor me :P

[gauravanim]

Transitions are simply amazing ... Magic :)

Great Work

[sk3d]

This is beutifull work! Her animation is great, well done. I found the blooming and overcontrasting a bit intense, but that may just be me. Well done!!!:scream:

[R10k]

Looks better than Rundle Mall to me :thumbsup:

[BadG3r]

Vry nice inspiring work. Loved the style and the characters are very appealing.

[diginime]

i really like how it change from one season to another :) Good job !

[mediaramas]

beautiful spot in all aspects!

[elysianalartist]

It reaks of appeal!! She is very cute. I just got back from shopping and it makes me want to go back and do some more :D Out of curiosity what was the song know what was used. Is it written specifically for the commerical or is it a song?

[Larry_g1s]

Great job. Very fun atmosphere. The transitions are great!

If memory serves me correct, the music was done by an Australian studio called Song Zu, which does a lot of music for big TVCs as well as music for Australian TV series.

Awesome spot. Loved the caracter designs, very appealing.

Just wondering how you guys controlled her hair at the beginning when it comes loose, are you able to tell?

Hey everyone,

Thanks heaps for your comments and questions. In regards to the hair controls for Ginger, we used an external contractor Alexey Petryaev, to model and rig Ginger. She was design here at the pra but we needed some extra hands and Alexey did a great job of the rig.

I'll ask our TD, Aaron to go into further detail on the hair controls.

Cheers

I see no resemblance at all except the hair color.

[samwpra]

I see no resemblance at all except the hair color.
