For the first one we started with USAnimation, but for the quality that we needed to achieve, we switched over to Toon Boom because of the speed and cost advantage. In all, I have directed about seven spots using Toon Boom Studio V2. We have approximately a five week production schedule, so we needed a program that would achieve what we needed quickly. The concept is a group of five very graphically designed teenagers created in the Flash look, who take advantage of lifes opportunities.
These spots are an animated Coke campaign made through the production company Productions Pascal Blais in Montreal for the French Canadian market.

The last two or three TV ads that I did were achieved using the updated version of Toon Boom Studio V2. In that span of time, I have shifted from traditional ink and paint on cel over to the computer. Since then, and as a direct result of the success of that film, I have worked on over a hundred commercials. The bulk of my commercial opportunity came after I completed my first short film The Cat Came Back.

Able to import textures and models from other programs and export the finished product in a number of ways, TBS V2 is being used to create animation for not only the Web but everything from the small screen to giant arenas. Toon Boom Studio V2 offers to remedy this its rich animation feature set and intuitive user interface accelerates workflow and efficiency. While Flash is the industry standard when it comes to Internet animation, the program wasn't actually built with animators in mind. Affordable and easy to use, Toon Boom Studio V2 was designed specifically for Web animation and offers an end-to-end production environment that is being used by experienced animators, Web designers and content developers alike.
