XBOX Lips : Gomez spotlight

Thought I’d show off some character designs I came up for an XBOX Lips commercial from a couple years back. I kept trying to name him ‘Gomez’, it didn’t stick and he was better known as “Lippy”. These 3D models were a study from a 2D design provided by the agency. He was a tricky guy to fit all those teeth into. The final one was produced as hybrid comp trick so that we could fit a huge mouth magically into a space smaller than the volume of his torso.

Shout outs to the ISZ and Sam Kieth!

It’s a wrap.

Just finished a grueling few months on Spike Jonze’ new short film “I’m Here” premiering this Thrusday at the Sundance film festival. Have a read below. (it’s where i nabbed the really awesome pic.) Also, I’m going to finally get to snowboard that Utah snow!

I was really proud of our team at Method Studios – well over 250 shots in about 2.5 months.
