Owens Corning/Doner

The Pink Panther Touch

The Brief

The Pink Panther is an icon of mid-century, American animation and one of my favorite animated characters (and films).

I was given the honor of directing a series of ads for Owens Corning whose mascot is none other than The Pink Panther himself. The spots were a blend of on location live action, green-screen, CG visual effects, and classic 2D animation.

As the director, I was responsible for developing the visual direction and ensuring all the creative parts fit together in a seamless and meaningful way.
