Matt Jacobs then described the process of creating horse-sized Quilete wolves: a combination of Timber wolves, Maned wolves, and elements of traditional werewolf lore. He wanted to stay true to “the special mythology of a wolf, [where] the wolf and the man spirits were combined, to protect his native lands, in this case from vampires.” The visual effects crew spent a few days observing Timber wolves at the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary in California to better understand their expressions, fur texture, gait, and other wolfy habits...
Modelers created a base mesh, or virtual model of the wolf, and puppeteers imbued the wolves’ nostrils, jaws, teeth, and ears with discreet, virtually-controlled commands so that animators could simulate wolf emotions (fear, submission, aggression, or the fervent yearning of unrequited love).

The Campbell campaign responded by deploying its new-media consultant, Mindy Finn, on Twitter to try to direct the viral buzz. "If the GOP has any hope of taking back the senate it won't be by accusing each other of being #demonsheep," she wrote in one post, having already rated the spot a "marketing...
