Oxygenol / Womena / Ruutukuva

A 1983 television commercial for Invite nail varnish and lipstick by Oxygenol, animated by Marjut Rimminen. Drawn animation on paper, coloured with felt-tip pens. The scarf's blurred effect was achieved by shooting two layers on a rostrum camera: the scarf underneath one layer of paper, lit from behind. The magazine advertisement used her illustration, but not the blurring effect.

Description in Finnish: Vuoden 1983 televisiomainos Oxygenolin Invite-kynsilakalle ja -huulipunalle, animaatio Marjut Rimminen. Piirrosanimaatiota paperilla, väritetty huopakynillä. Huivin sumea vaikutelma syntyi kuvaamalla trikkikameralla kaksi kerrosta: huivi paperikerroksen alla, valaistuna takaa. Aikakauslehti-ilmoituksessa käytettiin hänen kuvitustaan, mutta ilman sumennusta.
