Nah the bit with the box that open's & groucho marx mask's bounce up & down.
The Paula Abdul stuff is brilliant in parts dicey in other places.
But is 2D anyway, who knows what that was done on. Though it would be
a safe bet it was digital all the way through.

> What other ads have your company done, just out of curiosity?
Very few so far. We have mainly done TVNZ title graphics.
America's Cup, One Playhouse, Whitbread and various others.
(The America's stuff looked alot better b4 conversion to NTSC then Satellite
back to PAL).
We also did the real time animation tracking the boats in the America's Cup
using a top end SGI box in San Diego.

For sure that market is real competitive
& is going to much more so with multi media, which is where alot of
growth is going to be in the next few years. All of which is great
because it pushing technology along that much faster & prices down.
