This is the last video Dave directed for Disney, which promotes the new Winnie The Pooh movie! Dave, along with fellow DigiSynd employees, made a bunch of watercolor paintings, which were scanned into the computer. Dave arranged them in 3D space, choreographed the text and animated the camera movement. It gets pretty zany at the end, so enjoy!
Dave finished working on some of the Visual Effects for the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise! Thanks to everyone at Bad Robot for an amazing experience. See it in IMAX on December 21, 2011.

Saddle up and enjoy!
