Some people were talking about this spot on the 3DPro list and Ben White from Framestore reported:
I didnt work on the commercial, but you might be suprised to hear that the water was done using a completely realtime system. When combined with the latest in frog actuation techniques that we've been developing the result was very convincing.
Yes, its a real frog in the closeup... in real water.
And No - it was not harmed in any way during the making of the commercial. They had a bit of food on some string that it bites onto, they just lifted him up with the food still in his mouth and he chose to keep hold of it - He could let go whenever he wanted .
Paint out the string, add CG tongue and fly and voila ! gets my vote for Best comedy performace by an amphibian by a mile
