I Need-A Vita!
Client: Caffe Vita
Music: Heavy Metal Marching Band
Caffe Vita coffee is as synonymous with the Northwest as painfully inept baseball teams and hairy eight foot tall men living in the woods. When they contacted me about animating a 30’s style a cartoon set to the catchy jingle written by the insatiable HMMB, I knew I wanted to develop a piece that paid ode to their iconic status.
Join barista champion, Sam Spillman, as she bounces around town raising a mug to her favorite northwest staple – Caffe Vita.
Two and a half heads tall, Sam is a coffee-drinking force of nature.
