Each drone was designed by the Mill+ team from concept to 3D build with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the designs were both modern and believable as well as personable and filled with character.

Once designed, the drones were then animated by The Mill’s award winning 3D team, led by Mike Chapman. The inquisitive robotic creatures were modeled, rigged, and animated with Maya and rendered in Arnold, with the compositing was handled through Nuke.

Mike comments, “Using our Mill+ team to complete this project really helped us to achieve the visuals within the challenging time frame. Having direction, editorial and post production all under one roof allowed us to develop the project quickly and organically, with all areas understanding our processes and how best to work within them.”
