Treo, soluble painkiller

1979 · Commercial · 30 seconds

Leo-Fennica / LM McCann / Vistakuva

Treo soluble painkiller does not irritate the stomach, because it is dissolved in water. The animation was made by rotoscoping live-action frames and rendering them in soft pencil. The water and the dissolving tablet are live action, added on the rostrum camera by back projection.

This was a difficult and expensive way of mixing live action and animation. How lucky we are today with computer compositing.
