MMGB: BBC One 'The supporting act'

We are still a few Mondays away from Christmas, but this film from BBC (UK) could help you get into the festive spirit.

 

The film has been conceptualised by BBC Creative, the broadcaster's in-house agency.

 

The stop-motion film follows a 10-year-old girl as she practices for the most important dance performance of her life, while her busy dad is distracted with Christmas preparations. When the big night arrives the two come together for a surprising and special moment – illustrating the BBC’s 2017 theme of "oneness".

 

The ad is set to a rearrangement of Clean Bandit track Symphony. The characters were animated with stop-motion techniques but their faces were created with CGI to help them express a fuller range of emotions.
