Originally intended as a live-action project, Found Studio in London suggested the ambitious scale of this film for Scottish whiskey maker Ballantine’s would be better served with a full-CG treatment.

From Found: “Working together with the agency and the client, Found played the role of architects, artists, product designers, and engineers.

“[This required] an immense process of storyboarding, concepting, designing, modeling, texturing, simulating and animating – it pushed our filmmaking into new and exciting territory – a place between live-action, motion design, and visual effects.”
