I set up Richard Ollive Animation at the end of 1993, and both Ribena and Tetley were directed and animated by me from then until CGI overtook them! (I drew the animation for the revived Tetley Tea Folk in 2010/11 as well)<br />These characters weren't my only work. Amongst other things I made two TV series for the BBC, a TV feature, a short film etc and also worked quite extensively as an illustrator.<br />If anyone is interested, there's more information at <br />www.richardolliveanimation.co.ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-51683966963242770902013-12-31T11:30:09.143-08:002013-12-31T11:30:09.143-08:00Thanks for the information - it's always good ...Thanks for the information - it's always good to know the names behind these things.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131557432210919940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-2374045171123942142013-12-30T07:19:11.476-08:002013-12-30T07:19:11.476-08:00Although the Tetley Tea Folk were, as you say, ori...Although the Tetley Tea Folk were, as you say, originated by Wyatt-Cattaneo, the change from square to round bags took place between 1989-1990, by which time the advertising account had moved agencies, from Geers Gross to D'arcy MacMannus, and the animation was now being done by Richard Ollive Animation.<br /><br />The same thing is true for the Ribena blackcurrants - they were originally animated by Wyatt-Cattaneo, but in the 90s Richard Ollive took over, and I think this advert is also his.<br /><br />The original Vitalite Sun was animated by Uli Meyer, was a much simpler design, and the animation carried the song and dialoguue perfectly. The subsequent commercials seem over-designed and over-animated (to the point of messiness) losing the characterization of the original. Still a very memorable ad series, though.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141250556479971763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977996716744444623.post-53062775070135077202013-12-28T09:29:45.053-08:002013-12-28T09:29:45.053-08:00Nice memories...
