What if the Republican party was a breakfast cereal?
In the spirit of the political season we whipped up a satire with iClone 3. Created by the Martin Bros., the video is a study in the attempted rebranding of a political party.
The views expressed in the video are not intended to be those of Reallusion. That being said, the Martin Bros. swing iClone with a political punch. Repuffs utilizes iClone 3’s flexible actor creation system and billboard objects for motion graphics. All footage created in rendered in HD 1280×720. The production time was 20 days. No matter your views in the upcoming election, if you live in the US please share them by voting. Thank you my fellow Americans and all of our friends around the world. Enjoy Repuffs!
