Royal Foundation - Shaping Us

Puppets by Nathan Flynn

I was given the task of making the clay puppets used in this animated campaign for the Royal Foundtion. Directed by Sam Gainsborough, the ad follows the early years of a young girl, Layla, and shows how she is shaped by the support of people and the environment around her.
I created a series of plasticine puppets for the commercial, including Layla at different ages, fellow children and adults. These were animated and transformed during the shoot to portray the larger cast of characters and show the passing of time.
