Honda’s “Element and Friends” campaign, created by RPA and produced by WILDBRAIN, has included a variety of animated spots devoted to animals and now it has a dog. After winning an award as DogCar of the Year from DogCars.com, RPA decided to make the spot, which differs from others in the series because the dog enters the car and comments on some of its features. The animation was created with Photoshop and After Effects.
