Dunkers tests and animation

These are the camera tests and takes for the DairyLee Dunkers Dinotime commercial in 1997. All composites were done in camera using the Dynamation method except for one green screen shot. Ray Harryhausen was on board as an advisor and helped me with the technocalities of Dynamation. For instance, on one shot the camera was a certain distance to the screen and model and while i was doing BW dip tests i was still getting a matte line. Ray asked for the details and told me I needed a 1mm gap between the male and female matte for this set up. I did exactly that and it worked. I will always be great full for the experience of working with and becoming friends with Ray, the man who inspired me the most. The animation for the commercial was done by Merlin Crossingham.

No idea what the hell you were all thinking by making this advert. Was traumatising to me as a kid. Really was not appropriate at all. Didnt see anything funny about it.
