General creative direction and script

GoLightly facilitated the talent shoot and then provided us with the footage
Objectives:
-
Create a CG backdrop that felt like a theater set with moving parts. Theme - sunny swamp
-
Creative direction - three female actors calling on "Yamasa-Man" to save them from the subpar soy sauce sitting next to them, "Yamasa-Man" flies in like a rocket and saves the day.
-
Overall, the spot needed to be fun, quirky and cute, catering to a non-US, likely Japanese demographic.

Plans for revision and updating:
-
This was such a funky little piece with a tight turn-around, and the creative direction we received was so very specific. But I'd love to go back and play with the lighting, "Yamasa-Man's" FX and entrance.
