Publix “Roller Coaster”

Plato the dinosaur adventures out to a theme park in one of four CG animated Publix spots.

An exciting part of this project was adapting Publix’s lovable “Plato” mascot to CG. Having already existed in previous commercials as a 2D character, there were certain characteristics that we needed to keep in tact, while developing his detail, expressiveness, and production quality significantly.
