Director Tony Petrossian‘s first commercial since his move to Rhythm + Hues Commercial Studios has been named the number one Visual Effects / Animated Commercial of the Summer by the editors of SHOOT. The top honor is the latest success for the Cape Cod Potato Chips spot which features an all-bird CG version of iconic 80’s group Flock of Seagulls, performing the band’s biggest hit to the delight of nearby beach goer while he snacks on the chips. nnThe concept from GKV advertising in Baltimore was shot in Malibu with CG and post work completed in-house at R+H. It was an ideal first collaboration for Petrossian’s skillful storytelling and the award-winning VFX and animation company.nn”I felt the spot was going to succeed or not based on the personalities of the CGI seagulls, so I had the team really focus on seemingly minute details of those digital stars, all the way down to the band’s microsecond reaction to one of the drummer’s cymbals falling over after a rough pecking,” reveals director Tony Petrossian. “This honor confirms we were all pointing in the right direction and is a big win for the teams at Rhythm + Hues and GKV.”nnThe commercial, part of the first Cape Cod campaign to include television and digital media, garnered has also been featured in the mainstream media including The New York Times and Forbes along with trade journals like ADWEEK.n nSince the spot’s debut, Petrossian has been tapped to direct a McDonald’s commercial, which aired during the Olympics, as well as upcoming spots for Key Bank and another GKV project, plus he has been tagged to introduce a new mobile phone from a global mobile technology company. nn
