This spot for Olymel’s Flamingo brand of chicken, created by Montreal-based Bleublancrouge, features a 3D animation breakdancing toaster conceived by production house Frame. It was quite the process to put the whole thing together, involving animatics (a video skeleton of the storyboard, synchronized to a soundtrack). Oh, the things we do these days to capture kids’ attention.
