Three - Jeff's World
Framestore
Framestore collaborated with director Tomas Jonsgården, Boys + Girls and Ponder to create “Jeff’s World” for Three Ireland where they were tasked with bringing to life Jeff, a plucky pet bearded dragon who goes on an adventure while his owners are out of town.
Starting from the concept, the team headed up by Framestore’s VFX Supervisor, Jules Janaud worked closely with Tomas Jonsgården who directed the piece for Boys + Girls to define Jeff's character. Paying close attention to how a bearded dragon moves and behaves in its environment the team gathered a bank of reference material. They then created Jeff’s features including the scales, his iconic soft chin with spikes, the distinctive jiggle, and a bespoke rig for the inside of his mouth.
They also used a procedural system in Houdini to ensure the scales would function and look realistic whilst Jeff was tweaked and iterated along the way.
