Despite Sumi, Quatchi, and Miga being the brainchildren of local, Canadian designers the short animated film to introduce them to the world was created by a US Firm.
The film in question was released in November and created by Buck a company with offices in New York and Los Angeles. It's not surprising that VANOC would want to have the best product possible created to show-off the 2010 mascots but the fact remains that Vancouver is home to many strong illustration firms that could conceivably created a product as good or better than the US firm.
VANOC claims that Buck offered the most compelling pitch. The group of companies that pitched the video included Canadian corporations but at the end of the day being Canadian alone does not guarantee a firm a VANOC contract although it certainly does give one an edge.
