Behind The Scenes – “Birds”
The cute little Cape White Eye birds are drawn to our gin drinker’s garnish on his oversized glass, which he soon regrets ordering. Shot in a pre-Covid world, Greg Gray and Helena Woodfine from Romance films approached Chocolate Tribe to create all the CGI birds in post.
Our VFX Supervisor, Rob van den Bragt was on-set to guide the shoot for all the VFX requirements and in just 6 weeks from shoot, we modelled, textured, rigged, animated and composited in the hungry, playful birds. Well done to everyone for bringing these cheeky little birds to life and delivering a very humorous and fun filled advert.

Checkers
Behind The Scenes – “Little Checkers”
99c and Bioscope Films with director Rio Allen approached us to animate, composite and grade this fun “Little Checkers” commercial. Now, who wouldn’t want to animate a world made of Lego type blocks? We are no stranger to Lego animation, and of course are always up for another one.
We previously animated our short film Lego “Jurassic Park” and DSTV “Explora” (featuring Lego Batman). All scenes were 3D animated in Maya with Redshift as our renderer.

Behind The Scenes – Noughts and Crosses
In Dec 2019 the Chocolate Tribe team was approached by director Dean Blumberg and his team at Massif to bring to life the average working joe . The catch was that, the average joes are robots working on Toyotas assembly line, making Toyota Corollas!
In collaboration with the director and Draft FCB, Chocolate Tribe’s in-house concept art department designed all the robotic characters and factory space. A full environment with an assembly line, robots, cars and factory elements were build in 3D. A team of 8 animators and 3 compositors took almost 8 months to create a total of 3 brand ads, and 18 social media ads.
