G.I. Joe: The Invasion of Cobra Island
In 2009, R.M. Productions Ltd. was contracted by Paramount Pictures Corp. to produce a viral marketing campaign for the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra theatrical movie based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe brand. This resulted in the creation of G.I. Joe: The Invasion of Cobra Island, a 2 part animated web video, which eventually went viral and was featured on dozens of websites worldwide. It was done in the style of Team America: World Police and Thunderbirds, using a mix of vintage Hasbro G.I. Joe vehicles of the 80s, and the newly produced 25th anniversary G.I. Joe figures. The characters were animated using custom puppetry techniques, while their faces and other special effects were done using 3D animation software packages.
Story
When Cobra develops a secret bio-weapon on their hidden island base, G.I. Joe is called in to stop them. A daring invasion is executed with Snake-Eyes squaring off against Storm Shadow, his old nemesis. But the Joes learn that Cobra is a slippery snake when they fail to capture the bio weapon. G.I. Joe learns that knowing is half the battle.
