CAFE BUSTELO - PLANTERS

Bustelo Cafe was a series of coffee brand promotions illustrated by Andrés Rivera. Of the several animations produced, I was involved in “Planters".

My duty was initially to find a way to animate the flowers and vines growing out of the coffee can, which would later turn into a jumprope for the cel animated children. Upon completion of the vine, I took on other roles such as additional 3D animation (“magic” blobs, pitcher and mug), 3D camera work, scene building, and compositing of several scenes.
