Comcast Rabbit Panther

Whilst at Animal Logic, I modeled, textured and groomed the Rabbit-Panther-Thingie for this Cannes Bronze Lion award winning TVC.

To get the look of the shaved panther, we spent the day at a Shinx cat breeder's house.  The Animal Logic chef gave me a cooking rabbit to dissect for musculature reference, and in one of those bizarre coincidences, Baz Luhrman’s Australia was filming next door to our studio and that day the animal wrangler had the exact species of rabbit we had filmed- so the animators got to play with a live version too. The skin folds used a tension mapping system Max Liani coded for the project. The ever charming Andreas Wanda was the CG lead and Noam Murro Directed.

Oh, and it took days to scrub the rabbit smell off my hands, you are welcome animators.
