Sour Skittles: Eyebrows

New spot up today!



This is a spec commercial for Sour Skittles directed by John Sumner. John's not only a director, but he's the talented puppet builder who's built some amazing stuff for my animated spots Heart Attack, Fridge Tales, Candy Box, and PB&J.


As an added bonus, here are John's storyboards in animatic form:
