Foote Cone Belding (Toronto)
Teddy Bear Productions, GENERAL MILLS Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
Conceived by Toronto agency FCB (Foote Cone Belding) art director Barry Chemel and writer Jody Overend. This 30-second spot features two animated plug character puppets (created by Jon Craney) - an electrical circuited little boy and girl. Each was created out of electrical wires, plastics, urethane, various light bulbs and a lot of TLC. With 16 different wiring circuits for the set, a hand blown glass refrigerator and a checkered floor which lit up from below, the two characters were electrified through a breakfast morning of bodies sparking, eyes glowing and the lighting flashing. All from the electrifying boost provided by their high voltage Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal.

Bryant Fulton & Shee (Vancouver), London Drugs, "Pill Face".
Using a photograph of a woman's face placed under a sheet of glass, an estimated variety of three thousand prescription pills were placed over top, following the photo to create a very detailed image of the woman's face. The "Pill Face" was then placed under an animation stand and animated in reverse by removing the pills frame by frame, the film was then transferred forward. The end result was pills swirling throughout the 30-second spot eventually forming the woman's face following the final audio slogan "At London Drugs we get to know the people behind the prescription".
