“You guys saved our ass. As usual with a job like this , the deadline was approaching and the wheels fell off the cart - and you all stepped in like Superman saving the train from crashing. Thank you!”
Foxtrot X-Ray is delighted to share our first commercial collaboration with Austin-based production company The Bear, for Bandolier Media, for Roto Rooter! The Bear executive producer Elizabeth Spiva brought Foxtrot X-Ray on board to perform compositing duties on this stop-motion ad inspired by the Rankin/Bass ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ and directed by Rohitash Rao. We were responsible for adding in animated mouths to sync with the dialogue, replacing the Roto Rooter man’s snake tool, and cleaning up stop-motion armatures and other artifacts from the animation process.
