Crankyape.com is a website that features online auctions of anything that “rolls, floats or has an engine”. They came to wanting to parlay the animated character in the logo into a spot, which I thought was a great idea since it was already a branded image. Using my network of freelance CGI modelers and animators we came up with this spot (and I saved the client some money by doing the voiceover myself). This spot has also been featured in the epic thriller “Contagion” as a background commercial in a hotel scene with Kate Winslet (I have a friend at Warner Bros that needed a local spot, so he gave me a call)
