2020

We had the pleasure of cooking up an army of gingerbread stop motion puppets for this action packed festive commercial. Based on characters from the game ‘Clash of Clans’ we made a cast of articulated puppets including the Builder, Wizard, Healer, Archers, Hog Rider and a group of angry Barbarians. Each puppet featured a selection of replacement facial features for expression changes and various sweet themed props like gingerbread swords, marshmallow hammers and candy cane bows and arrows. Congratulations to the whole crew for bringing all the ingredients together and making this Christmas treat.
