Affiliate animation director Stephen X. Arthur's :15 television commercial can now be played as a QuickTime movie from the first page of his AWN Gallery.
This is a speculative commercial, created for a director's showreel, entitled "Spec Spot: Sony Noise-Canceling Headphones: Blind Man." The spot uses the "virtual cinematography" and "landscape pixilation" technique developed in the short film "Vision Point", as well as the warping methods developed in "The Recess" and "Transfigured;" plus lots of After Effects 5 touches. This 15-second piece provides the best example of the innovative techniques mentioned in the Artist's Survey, coming in the October issue of Animation World Magazine.
