I was approached to create an animated bumper for Topo Chico's ongoing series showcasing musicians called Topo Chico Premiere. The bumper would be featured as a funky intro to one of the acts in the series.
My Pitched Concept:
An unsettling 1950s dinner party. The table is set with strange jell-o creations and other absurd foods from the past; dinner guests include a dressed up pig, chicken, rabbit, cow, and fish.

Technique:
The process was a shmorgishbord of claymation, collage, mograph, and cel animation, which all culminated into the 12 second bumper. All of the backgrounds were collaged from my collection of materials from the 1950s-70s.
