Believe it or not, this was inspired by my fascination of the merging of live-action and traditionally hand-drawn animation, the latter of which I've yet to fully study in the future. This one is more of real-life picture and altered drawing put together. One might say my inspirations include Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract," which featured MC Skat Kat, who had his own two videos later on and whom I'm hoping to reintroduce sometime this year (see http://signorino2006.wordpress.com), and the many Frosted Flakes commercials.
I had my dad take a picture of me in an office of one of his employees, drew an outline of Jacken DeBox on a printed picture, scanned the picture with the outline, created objects to form Jacken relative to the outline in Illustrator, merged Jacken with the higher quality picture in Photoshop, and gave Jacken various shades and highlights. It's pretty simple if you plan it all out.
