In Rewards Jumper, you pick to play as Molly Shannon or Michael Ian Black. At the time, they were spokes people for a campaign that involved grouping air, hotel, and car packages together. This grouping was visually represented in the commercials by pairing-up various translucent cubes.
The goal of the game is to leap on top of these cubes using simple left & right controls and get as high as possible. As you progress in the game, the cubes begin to show various travel locations.
I got about 30 minutes each with Michael and Molly to film the animations used in this game. Both of them were really friendly, nice people who went along with the ridiculous things I made them do with a smile. I found out that Michael Ian Black is very uncoordinated. We had some blocks set up to mimic the actions he would take when jumping into a convertible and we did a bunch of takes of him clumsily trying to pull off the jump before giving up. In the game, he just teleports into the car instead of getting into it.
