Flash Animated Superman

posted by admin, 12.45 AM

This series of Superman and Seinfeld American Express commercials aired early last year, but at the time I didn’t have confirmation that they were animated in Flash. They appear to rely heavily on re-use, and the Superman model has all the telltale signs of being more of a puppet than a fully-animated character. While visiting the Vancouver-based Nitrogen Studios website, I noticed that they had assisted Unplugged Studios (out of Toronto) on the Flash animation end of these commercials, which can all be seen on the Unplugged website (click on the ‘Animation’ tab and then ‘American Express.’) Great stuff.
