PSYOP JBL chameleon



Not only is this a great spot from Psyop, but the tech they added to create the look of the chameleon is amazing..  
 Unfortunately there are no credits to the artists. so I'm not sure if it was NY or LA or ..  but I'm gonna guess not NY ..
 (update!) 
 Just heard from one of the animators on the job,  So it was done in NYC!

Lead Animator: Pat Porter
animators: Doug Rappin & Chris Meek 
Rigging TD: Lukas Wadya
