Bick's
"BBQ"
Completed March 1, 2006

This is the second of three spots produced by Hatch Studios Ltd. for Ogilvy & Mather. It features an alien documentarian exposing the cruel ways in which humans treat pickles. The spots are quite humorous in the sense that they are so absurd in nature.

  • A small green alien with large eyes stands on a rooftop under a shadow. In the background, there are trees and a wooden fence, creating a suburban setting.
  • Aerial view of a backyard barbecue with four people gathered around a grill on a wooden deck. Nearby, two people play catch on a lush lawn, conveying a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.

The alien was modeled and textured using ZBrush, rigged and animated in 3dsmax 8.0, and rendered with VRay 1.47.03. It was composited with After Effects.
