Viva à la Tissa
- Tissa David animated a VIVA paper towel spot for John Hubley. Here’s a scene wherein the lead, a woman, walks through (Bg pans behind her at .25 per drawing) toward the kitchen, where she stops.
Instead of giving you the entire page of animation paper, I’ve trimmed it down to just include the character and her walk. Here are four examples of what the entire drawing looks like, untrimmed.

The following is a QT of the entire scene with all the drawings included.
Since I didn’t have exposure sheets, I put everything on two’s straight ahead.
- Here’s what looks like a simple move done by Tissa David when she animated this Viva, paper towel commercial.
The character’s move in this scene is a complicated one done simply. She has been bent over, cleaning with her paper towel, and she moves up. You can follow the overlapping action as her eyes pull her up, head turn, and body follows.
The stripes will come and go. Tissa depends on someone else to concentrate on this material when she’s working on a commercial.

Her eyes point in the direction she wants to go,
and the rest of the scene moves her up and into profile.
This key move is hidden under the exchange of the
paper towel from one hand to the other.

And she slyly looks back to camera to respond with her thought.

She continues, all through this move, talking.
She’s pitching the product.
