About the project

We got approached by director Colin Tilley from A Boy in the Castle and producer Dan Karp to create a story telling animated music video for J Balvin. It was a really exciting opportunity to create something new and fresh. Communicating emotions was the key aspect of the project, so we decided to use combination of motion capture technology with 3D animation and bring characters to life

Approach

This project was really intense learning experience, during Covid live shooting got canceled and we had to came up with solution how to make the story in 3D. It was our first time of using motion capture suit, rigging animals and much more. It was a really fun times and great team.
