Rhinofx's Blue Light Shines on for Kmart

Rhinofx's original 3D animated character Mr. Bluelight, the aptly named blue light bulb, continues to star in Kmart stores and television spots across the country.

The charming and playful Kmart spokesman has been helping customers examine merchandise and scour stores for deals across broadcast spots and Kmart's website.

The long line of :15 and :30 spots began airing in May 2007 and have evolved into the ongoing Blue Spotlight program, a multi-platform campaign in which the luminous icon uses print, TV, and web to highlight the stores' best products and bargains.

rhinofx's ability to deliver the production quality and bandwidth for these projects is a direct result of their significant growth and access to a deeper and more talented resource pool.

With new in-store sales every two weeks, the ongoing success of Mr. Bluelight as Kmart's newest brand spokesperson, and the intricate nature of the animation, rhinofx has developed an efficient system and dedicated staff to handle the production pipeline.

Creative/Animation Director Harry Dorrington notes, "Each spot involves significant creative and production resources, including pre-vis, character sketches, behavior mapping, 3D modeling, rigging, lighting, and fully integrating the animated elements with props, live-action, and voice-over.

It is a really major process and the output is a testament to the talented team we have put together to execute on the original vision."
