Hasbro – Mr. Monopoly Commercial – Part 02

Posted In Animation Director, Animation Supervisor, Film Director, short films | 6 comments

Here is the second of 4 Monopoly spots I directed for Hasbro and the Minnesota State Lottery.

We shot the live action plates (fancy talk for backgrounds) in Santa Monica in one day. Then we spent about 8 days per a spot to complete the animation. This was a fun series to work on because we got to allow Mr. Monopoly to act and have a slight character arc over the 1:45 minutes of screen time.

Enjoy, and be sure to ask questions or leave comments!

Thanks!

    I just love the fancy talk that you had applied here in this commercial. When I saw this the first time, I was awed. I am definitely sure that I will be looking forward to more of you!

    I was laughing when I saw this commercial of yours. I’ve got to give it up to you, Mike. Seriously, this is almost as if it was a real live person, if not only that of course it was purely animation.

    I have to say that I love Mr. Monopoly’s true to life facial expressions. When I read your post, I actually couldn’t believe that it only took eight days to complete the animation. I commend you for such great expertise.

    I did enjoyed this commercial. Even my friends find this awesome. What does it take to make such high quality commercial that is almost surreal?
