Thanks to Alice from 1st Year who pointed me to this wonderful entry into the recent Doritos "Australian Commercial Competition". Entrants had to design a 30-second TVC, with the winner receiving $20,000. I'm a little stunned that this didn't win.Titled Come and Ride My Cactus Horse, it's by Maik Hempel, Brisbane animator and former QCA student, who also collaborates with former SBIT boy Adam Leigh on the "so-bizarre-it-makes-Gefiltefish-look-normal" Rashman series.
And while I'm chatting, check out the lovely blog of Adele Thomas, freelance animator, Flash guru and Maik's partner.
I love Adele's bold, expressive character work. Adele is a great example of a talented animator who isn't afraid to sell herself and to work really, really, really hard. Oh, and if you ever see her, tell her she looks like Lara Croft. She LOVES that!

Adele's blog is great and she looks like Lara Croft.
That spikey cactus horse clip reminded me a lot of Bigfish' Fest.
yeah, she looks like her whe Jolie was hot back in 2003...but thats just my opinion...
haha, thanks for the lovely compliments Terry and for the link to Maiks work...I have just posted his new reel on my blog too...its kickass.
