I was asked by the cool dudes at Picturesmith to help out on this multidisciplinary film for the Natural Diamond Council. Was an exciting project combining my 2d/3d animation skills with Picturesmiths absolute wizardry in stop motion and set design. Every shot has a stop motion background, with in-camera lighting effects. Huge effort from a great team to put this one together! Check out the BTS below for a look under the bonnet :)
