From a commercial we did, Its for a gaysite here in sweden and the ape doesent go for the girl in the end. We was aming for the 1933 look so I animated in stop motionstyle on two,s.
I modeled the Ape using maya and rendered with mentalray, I used shake to comp.

The commercial was awarded a ROY award here in sweden recently in the category best animation and special effects
with the motivation " With great feeling and expertise the winner has manage to combine technique and idea to a perfect film"
pardon my translation from swedish

The idea was on Patrik Forsbergs behalf
The commercial was directed by Mauricio Molinari
The DOP was Paul Evans
And I did the Animation and special effects..

Hope you like it... And take a look at the final movie and behind the scenes below:
