Wii Commercial

This one was for a contest on an online forum called Playing. One should create some sort of commercial for the newly released games console Wii from Nintendo. The Wii is famous for its new way of interacting with games. Instead of controlling your character with the D-pad (or D-stick) you wave and point the "Wii-mote".

My idea for the commercial was based on the different ways you could interact with a game and what you could do with the controller. So I animated the Wii-mote in different situations, some related to games, some not. I have the grand Zelda opening, where the Wii-mote moves like if you'd drawn a sword. After that comes the "gun-mote", where the player would use the Wii-mote as a gun.

Directly afterwards the heavy music you can hear music that would fit in a circus (but you'll probably know it from Monty Python's Flying Circus) and someone is juggling three Wii-motes.

Vray was used for rendering and combustion for the usual motion blur. Total production time was 1 week (in my spare time)
