Description:
Just how do you animate hundreds of thousands of building blocks, morphing from object to object in a playful, organic way? This spot begins with a single block that is dropped into the frame. After a huge pile of blocks falls to the ground, they begin to build themselves one by one into a variety of shapes, culminating in a lion made of 1,000,000 blocks. Curious Pictures manufactured its own ?Curious Blocks? for real-world reference. The blocks were then digitized and animated one by one in Maya by cross-trained stop-motion animators and proprietary software.
