Saw the BBC advert for the winter Olympics this morning. Brilliant animation.

Who ollie and oliver johnston one of the original 9 in walt disney animation. avatar is not from outer space, their environment reflects earth.

avatar and who ollie. oliver johnston was an original animater from walt disney. who ollie is a character from outside. the critique of avatar is their environment that is so close to ours and not from another world.

Fantastic.

Brilliant animation. BBC gets it right when it comes to sequences like this! Last olympics they nailed it, looks like they've done the same again.
Awesome!

That is one brilliant commercial. Awesome.

This is super-cool. I especially love how the choice of an Inukshuk for the logo of the Vancouver olympics has been embraced... Vancouver being nowhere near the arctic circle, thus ignoring the many more interesting artistic works of local First Nations artists..

But whatever.. I'm sure the territories will return the favour when they get the summer olympics in 100 years. BaDum-Tssch!

It is a rad piece of work though..

awesomeeeeeeeee......

excelenteeeeeeee!!! great vector illustration , txtures, awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if that's vector - I believe that Jon works in Photoshop and then has his work made into CG elements. Let me get back to you on this....

there's bowling in the winter olympics?

Curling :)

still sort of kept the monkey style which now feels too intrinsically linked to tony blair and not just damon albarn. makes me cringe a bit. would be great to see a fresh risk on alternate styles using this current studio abilities which look great.
musics totally out of it though. very bbc.
