GINGKO BIOWORKS
Role: Production Design (Jill Guidote)
Director: Rob Richert
Production Company: Sprinkle Lab
A commercial for Gingko Bioworks. A company based out of San Francisco. The two greatest challenges for this project was creating a Audrey 2 puppet and sourcing a working mechanical robot arm that could hang from the ceiling.
The Audrey Puppet took us a week to fabricate. (A lot due to Jill working on it alone and the cold and wet weather conditions. Drying and setting time took longer.) The jaw of the puppet needed to be able to open and close to get a single drop of blood.
The arm was provided by a local vendor in Los Angeles that also provided a operator and assistant to set up the arm on the truss.
