Suffice it to say that we here at
fps HQ love the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads, but more so when they're animated—as in
this little stop-motion number, which is in the spirit of all the Rankin-Bass TV specials that are aired around this time of year. I would have liked to see a Mac Miser and PC Miser, but hey, you can't have everything.
The ad was directed and animated by none other than Drew Lightfoot, who—notwithstanding a brief encounter at this year's
Ottawa International Animation Festival—we last saw doing some
real-time animation to the amazement of the crowd at our
Mike Johnson Animation Innovator presentation in 2005.
