Pictured to the right is the campaign's spokesperson, Mario Andretti. AMI created and performed these three animatronic macaw puppets for director / cameraman Mikael Soloman. The director first worked with Animal Makers when he was shooting (as Director of Photography) the Ron Howard film, "Far and Away". When Texaco wanted great working models of their corporate colors in the form of these Macaws, there was one place Mikael turned to.
