Winter Wonderland 3D animation

London-based Little Houdini, who created the static digital and print campaign for Winter Wonderland, approached me to manage the animation of the characters and environment.

I was supplied with the original Cinema 4D files but it wasn’t quite as simple as animating everything straight away. We had to go through the process of optimising the scene, including the geometry, to make it suitable for animation.

I handled the background characters, bar a few ice skaters, but I got the mega-talented Ben Simpkins to animate the hero characters at the front. Nick Tietzsch-Tyler was brought on board for rigging duties.
