Robin Hood "Giving"

[richard_rosenman]

Robin Hood “Giving" is the third and final spot for 2005 created by Redrover Animation Studios Ltd. for Smuckers Canada, represented by Ogilvy & Mather Canada. The spot once again reveals Andrew and Elizabeth being interviewed, this time at the dining room table in the evening. As this is a spot intended for the holiday season, they are shown wrapping their gingerbread cookies in gift boxes for "all of their favourite people in the whole world." The table shows various gift-wrapping accessories, the freshly baked cookies (complete with handwritten names), a glamorous holiday candle ornament, and a kitchen cloth with the Robin Hood logo. The cold winter setting outside contrasts the warm dining room lighting inside and helps develop a cozy holiday atmosphere. Currently, Andrew and Elizabeth are on the front page of the Robin Hood website.

Hey guys;

Thanks for the kind words.

Background was precalculated irradiance map which took an evening. Then those frames took about an hour each.

Foreground (characters and table) were single frame calculation - about an hour each as well.

Depth of Field was with my own DOF PRO plugin using sequential depth maps.

Hair was HairFX, snow was simple Combustion particle system.

Lots of color correction and tweaking in Combustion.

Hi Richard,

fantastic work! So many details. Top notch shading. Your work is always inspiring.
Did you use SSS on those candles?

Best Regards,

Dieter

Subtle absorption on the candles and the skin shader.
