Bistefani, Panettone and Candied fruit

With these new commercials, Bistefani makes his big comeback on TV with the CGI animated versions of the unforgettable main characters in top 80s commercials.

Carlo, an enthusiast baker is trying to explain his recipes, but has to face grumpy Mr Bistefani's constant criticism, as always.
The entrepreneur, mad about waisting too much money in quality, unexpectedly turns into Santa Claus. The two main characters design takes inspiration from the original actors as to maintain their features but, at the same time, allow an interesting cartoon interpretation.

Both Bistefani's commercials ("Panettone and Candied Fruit" and "Krumiri Bistefani") had different technical issues to be solved in order to get, as usual, the best possibile character animation. Maga worked on cloth, hair and fur simulation with the purpose of giving the protagonists a good look, coming off as warm and illustrated-like. Similarly, we focused on improving food's appearances through lighting, rendering, sub-surface and translucency effects, delivering it an authentic, colorful look.
