This spot was created primarily to run in theaters as a pre-roll trailer before several children's releases in the summer of 2024, but it also ran on-air, streaming and on social channels. My task was to create 2D rigs for Spongebob and Patrick, animate them watching the spot along with the 'real' audience in the theater, and composite everything together into a 'theater' that I designed using Spongebob production assets. I also created the fun "rated S for Slime" card that appears at the very top.
Quick demo of the rigs I built for this spot! I created the art for Spongebob and Patrick and rigged them in about three days, then animated and composited them into the 'theater' for the final spot.
