How the heck did they do that SuperBowl eTrade ad?

[ahhaa]

I watched that baby over & over and just can't figure it out, unless it was a variation of the Clutch Cargo technique?
There were so many EFX ads it should give people here hope- a great idea (like that talking stain ad) a little work, and whambam at least next years salary guaranteed!

This incredibly funny commercial looks like a seemless blend of real baby footage with digitally manipulated mouth movement and facial expressions topped off with a little bit of CG vomit.

Good times.

One frame at a time and a program like Photoshop with a few plugins, anyone can do it. I'm sure there's freeware programs that can do the same. Just takes a fair amount of time and effort.

filmed a baby. composited on the video of the room with the baby in front of the computer. cg on the mouth and the vomit. actually it was pretty horrible as far as sfx goes. the tire commercial was a lot better done.

Render and animate through a raised floor room full of disc and SGI's.

For anyone interested, Smuggler out of NY did the production on Baby Banking and Baby Trading. Their client list is pretty respectable and they have produced some very good spots.
