Description:
This award-winning spot illustrates the potential strength of human collaboration. Hundreds of internet users, represented by their cursors, get together to empower animal rights in the form of a gorilla.
The main challenge of this spot was to construct the gorilla with the pointers without loosing the force and character behind the animal. A 3D particle system was created to create the structure of the gorilla, which was previously crafted and animated. Maya software was used to create the animation and modeling. Compo-sition was crafted in After Effects. The result is believable gorilla behavior in spite of the graphical approach.
Software:
Maya, After Effects, Combusion
