More Mt. Dew
- Last week I posted some animation drawings done by Grim Natwick which he animated in a spot for Mountain Dew. The drawings I posted were actually the assistant’s drawings done by Tissa David. The spot was produced by Robert Lawrence Productions.
This is another run cycle from that same film. Again, all of the drawings, here, are Tissa’s clean-ups.

He actually comes down in the crossing position rather than the
classically designed walk where the head moves up.

Tissa’s tnedency is to have the crossing position the lowest in the cycle.
The character bears the weight of his walk with feet solidly on ground.
