Working closely with Photographer Vincent Dixon to create this campaign centred around the magical character that is the Unicorn, we had great fun with this one, and we loved every challenge along the way.
A huge technical challenge requiring a fully digital unicorn to be created from scratch using the latest technology in hair & fur systems; every muscle sculpted from digital clay; animated by our talented team; fully CGI train carriage designed and crafted; and then melded with photographic plates of talent, this was a big project.
