RBC - Shiny Happy Relay - final 60 sec clip.

This was the final 60 sec spot. The delivery time-frame was tighter than a fishes asshole - so water cant get in ( as my grandfather used to say.) 
The result is pretty good considering the production schedule, and multiple language and time versions required, however ultimately I would have loved one or two more weeks on it. You can check a production diary on my site at bitstate.com.

RBC - Shiny Happy Relay - pitch clips.

Here are the clips I furnished to the agency with the original pitch, the first one shows how I wanted the runners to group together and the second was an example of how I saw the rotational sets would work to transition through the diverse regions of Canada.

RBC - shiny happy relay - style frames.

This was a little beauty of a script and against stiff competition we were flattered to have won it. With a cast of hundreds, and a Christmas period deadline that was abjectly terrifying, the result was an achievement on many levels. We had to execute two 60's, one in English and one in French, and two bilingual 30's. The idea was to mirror in animation an actual torch bearing relay race across the width of the grand nation of Canada . 

The set design I am especially found of - here are the style frames I made for each scene.
