Tic Tac- Little Adventures

The idea was to create four 30-second web spots featuring miniature worlds wherein Tic Tacs have wild adventures. The height of the Tic Tac, approximately 1cm tall, set the scale for all four of the scenes. We had roughly a month for building the sets and were on set four days for filming. The production agency, Hue and Cry, supplied the stock footage and added additional computer effects. Sets made in collaboration with Lori Nix (Nix+Gerber Studio). Props made by me.

Falls- This scene need to have rushing water, a toolbox with removable tools, a hollow barrel and removable helmet for the Tic Tac. We used standard model materials for creating the landscape and water elements. They were made in separate sections so the water could be manually pushed to provide “rushing water”. The toolbox and tools are scratch built. The helmet is turned plastic.

Jump- This needed cars at two different scales and three separate interiors for detail shots. The landscape was adjustable in height and depth.

Shark- This required multiple cages (two of the designs needed to be raised and lowered), the boat needed to rock, and the Tic Tac needed a snorkel and diving mask. Holes in the ocean allowed for me to be under the table maneuvering the boat and for Kathleen to raise and lower the various cages on a wire. The snorkel and diving mask are scratch built and could be removed and placed on different Tic Tac pills. 

Space-This scene needed a very small space capsule, a detailed capsule interior (with lights) and exterior door, and an alien-looking landscape. The small capsule is turned plastic with additions to the surface. The landscape was in multiple sections and heavily textured.
