Barney Video Interstential

This video was one of three 30-second interstential television commercials produced for the children’s show Barney & Friends. ImageTap 3D artist and character animator David McClain was awarded the unique opportunity to create one of the first digital/make believe environments and characters for Barney to interact with (Barney has previously been featured exclusively in one of two studio sets). This was the first time Barney was combined with CGI characters.
The Barney character was shot on a green screen for placement into the 3D renderings. The entire scene and characters were sketched and created in 3D. Video of Barney was provided and composited with the animation and sound. The above images are additional shots of the completed video.
