The client was looking for different realistic approachs to a mediterranean beach snack bar for its upcoming animation commercial for "Trina", a popular cool orange drink in Spain and Portugal that belongs to "Schweppes" group (which belongs in turn to Suntory Limited). These animation commercials are starred by a recurrent cast of fruit characters at the series.
The first step was to find some approved reference as a point to start working from.
Several different architectural styles were tested and developed for choosing and camera placement purposes.
After that, a camera test was developed and filled with selected looks and details. Also, a terrain map to the background was added in order to provide the best guide to the 3D artists.
Finally, after a pre production meeting with the client the final version of the commercial was animated and rendered by The Frank Barton Company guys (incredible and nice people). Here the final result.
