Seed Matters
Clif Bar Family Foundation
Seed Matters without any doubt is the most fun and challenging project I ever had at Buck! It’s one of these projects that many artists and directors got involved in making it. I had a great opportunity to model and rig Mr. and Mrs. Seed.
Making Mr. Seed facial rig was the most fun part, I had to listen to the early voice recordings and just imaging all the funny expressions that Mr. Seed could do. Technical wise the rig was very challenging since the character has a cylindrical/triangular shape, I had to developed systems to slide the shapes and joints along the head surface. Making the blend shapes was kind of tricky too, I had to build a lot of combo shapes (it's when more than one blend shape got fired at the same time) and that helps with making seamless transation between the facial shapes.

Happy Meal
McDonald's
I worked on McDonald’s Happy spots for more than a year, I believe they were around 20 spots aired on TV all over the US and watched by millions of people. Making the rig of Happy and creating all these crazy expressions, rigging the secondary characters, rigging and modeling many props, all were an amazing experience!

Swing
Oreo
A very short spot made for Oreo; that take us from a mundane commute to a wonder filled trip where imagination takes center stage. I had an amazing opportunity to rig the mother and the daughter, and I also rigged most of the props.

Two Best Friends
Cadbury Dairy Milk with Oreo
One of the most beautiful projects I've ever worked on with Buck's wonderful team! I've been responsible for creating all the rigs for this spot!
Building these rigs where so challenging, starting with Cadbary and Oreo which can twist, jump and even dance, to the emoji face that can transforms to any shape literally! I had to develop a very complex rig for the emoji mouth that can opens extremely wide and can closes like a small o-shape and it maintains all the volume!

Soft Chew Stories
Orbit White
I had very beautiful three years’ journey at Buck Design in Los Angeles, and this is the last spot I’ve worked on with Buck’s wonderful team. It’s one of the cutest spots that I’ve enjoyed working on, I rigged the two characters, their eyes rig was the challenge in this spot.
