Being an adverting company, with an interactive department, Y&R's Wunderman created an interactive Flash piece for the Winter Holidays. It was a VR chat room, where you would sign in and skate around on virtual ice as one of five happy woodland creatures.

The 3D creatures were created in Maya from scratch, and output as a flat grid of loopable, linkable sets of animation frames. Sprite sheets. With each unique move being 4 - 10 frames. Typically they had a forward skate, jump. turn left, turn right, fall, and a few special moves, like a spinning jump, or a twirl, or a flip.
