Reddi-Wip “Supermarket” Storyboards

Another quick one this week. I did these boards earlier this year.

This kind of spot is very familiar to everyone- the taste test.  Which do you prefer?  Reddi-wip, or the other whipped topping? As if there was any doubt.

I did these boards in about 4 hours.  The most challenging part was drawing the distinct shape and dimensions of the Reddi-Wip can.  Which of course, ended up being the wrong specific can shape, as apparently they come in different sizes.  But often those changes occur on-set; another reason not to get too detailed in your storyboards, since so much can evolve and change after I draw them.

The link below is to the final video.  Enjoy!
