Nice... the animation in that must have been hard to do.

not at all, it would have mostly been puppetry - a human decked out with those IR ball things so a computer can track em.

The choreographer for Justin Timberlake was suited up with one of those light point suits and did the moves, the animation was done by a studio here in Vancouver B.C. I recognize some of the buildings in the background.
No puppetry involved.

Sorta a stolen idea from 2000 when a computer artist did one with a VW. No dancing but the bug has a gun!

Sorry roid you are quite right. I didn't really catch that connection in your post.
Still an awsome job no matter how it's done.

thanks for pointing out the buildings FP. I now know exactly where they filmed it.
