During my employment with Curtis Incorporated, I was assigned to create a 3D version remake of the 1960 commercial Charlie and the candelabra. I had the honor of creating the first 3D modeled "Charlie the Tuna" for the Starkist International advertising market. The characters Charlie and Little Fish were lipped synched in Spanish for the Venezuelan television broadcast and then went to Saudi Arabia to promote the opening of tuna factory production in Saudi Arabia. The software used for this project was Alias/Wavefront. This commercial won a Telly award in 1999.
