Lipton Kombucha 

‘It’s for everyone now’

Combining stop motion animation, live action and in-camera hand-crafted tricks



These four spots for Lipton Kombucha were a mixture of live action, stop motion, in-camera lighting effects and budgie puppeteering. The beard was custom made in different sections and then animated in reverse but cutting sections off one frame at a time. We had a rig that the talent could lean up against to keep him still throughout the sequence. 

The Baby goats were surprisingly easy to work with and were quite happy to be standing on ‘higher ground’. The homebrew set was also animated in reverse so that we could end on the perfect setup.
