Planters, with Passion Pictures · Body rig, facial rig and clothing
Mr Peanut
For the Planters Whittle Nut Bowl advert, made by Passion Pictures in 2022, I built Mr Peanut's full body rig, facial rig and animatable clothing. I built the facial rig in a single day on a tight turnaround, using a sliding 2D setup. The clothing setup supported the clothing simulation work.

The challenge
In the Planters Whittle Nut Bowl advert, Mr Peanut tells the story of how the holiday nut bowl came to be. Passion Pictures made it on a tight turnaround, and the facial setup had to be built in a single day.
What I did
- Body rig. I built Mr Peanut's full body rig.
- Facial rig. I built an advanced facial rig in one day, working from a lovely model. It uses a sliding 2D setup, where facial features slide across the surface of the face rather than being sculpted into it.
- Clothing. I set up animatable clothing to support the clothing simulation work.
The outcome
The advert was delivered in 2022 and the final result looked brilliant. You can watch it below.
