Director Paulo Garcia and Brazilian animation force Zombie Studio (who crafted this holiday classic for Doritos), apply their CG character and lighting skills to a duet of aging felines for the Vivo x90 phone thru Shanghai agency KARMA.
Final Frontier EP Chris Colman: “To date, it’s rare in China to find a client bold enough to go with full CG characters, especially with a brand new, self-created IP.
“So, big respect to Vivo for taking that courageous step, and to KARMA, for their creative vision, and for having such a good read on the market about what will resonate, we’ve been happy to partner with both to craft two wildly popular films so far.”
