This was another funny ad from Geico.  

I was tasked with building a CG version of a robot puppet that Geico used for their latest ad.  In the plates, there were puppeteers in the shots, and we needed lights animating on the eyes.  I created a 1:1 replica of the head, eyes, and arms in CG.  I had reference from the art department and used those stills to calculate photogrammetry that I modeled off of and projected the remaining texture details.  Lookdev was done in Houdini using the Arnold renderer.
