After 5 months of production and an absolutely staggering 1.5 tons of clay, this campaign for Landrover parks itself as an incredible feat of claymation animation. The best of the best claymation specialists from across the nation shaped, molded, and animated every inch of environment and architecture in the spot. The only non-clay element is the car itself, 3D printed and boasting true-to-life functionality from steering to illuminating headlights.
In this malleable world, the car drives through diverse environments, seamlessly morphing from urban sprawls to majestic mountains and beyond. The clay environments become a literal road paved for the car’s cinematic exploration, showcasing an expert sensibility of craftsmanship and storytelling.
