It’s done, and as it’s now airing, I can show it to you. Thanks to the multiple parties who assisted… I give you…
Da Vinci Decoded (Quicktime) – *** note: this is an older cut of the commercial. Since then, I’ve modified the ending. I’ll get the most recent cut up on Sunday. ***
If you didn’t catch my talk last week about it, this piece will run 540 times over the next several weeks to promote our upcoming series that begins on Easter. It’s our first hand-animated pieces, comprised of 287 hand-rendered frames (solved in After Effects). It was quite an undertaking, but I think we’re all pleased with the result. Enjoy.

Looks awesome Ken. I actually used to dabble in hand animation.
It was 5th grade, I had a couple of spare post-it note pads I had robbed from the teacher. I can’t remember the plotline of the piece, but I remember a stick figure, some cartwheels and falling into a hole. Revolutionary, for its time, no doubt.

I’ll get a commercial schedule up as soon as I can.

That probably the best mix of great idea/great execution you’ve ever done. Very impressive.
(But you might want to get that newspring.cc/davinci page up before the commercials start running.)
ken
thanks, Shua… we actually killed the newspring.cc/davinci idea and that’s an older cut of the commercial. good catch.

**Update** Saw it air earlier today (~12:30 pm, Discovery Channel). Unrelated – Ken, I think that your template is stripping the tags off of the post on the frontpage (there is no movie link that I see, I had to click “read post” to get the link)

Junior, you are correct. There’s a reference to it, but I’m not sure how to change it. It’s on my “list of thing to do with the blog.” But thanks for pointing it out… I had a feeling it would be a problem and that confirms it.
