Having collaborated closely with Ogilvy on the whole series of lovable Comfort commercials for Unilever, this next instalment in the ‘Blossom’ campaign was animation directed by Mill +’s Russell Appleford.
Led by Russell, The Mill+ animation team brought the Comfees and their cloth world to life and gave them soft and natural movement. Russell says “In this Comfees’ adventure I wanted to really bring their world to life and introduce a greater range in lighting intensity. This allowed us to avoid any flat looking shots with no senses of where the light is coming from and we followed real-world lighting conditions as closely as possible.”
