The Mill created a CG apartment and seamless trip down memory lane to prom and back. John Shirley 2D lead artist explains, "The apartment is fully matte-painted and we wanted it to look like a young guy's place with nothing but his mom's sofa in it. It was all shot in slow-motion to heighten the comedic nostalgia, the emotions and of course that dancing."
Watch out for the cameo by a Mill dog named "Cow" (the photo behind the sofa) and remember taxes just got less taxing, take back the day!
