I had a fantastic time bringing the Movistar Mouse family into the world. We brought this commercial to life using an innovative blend of technology, in which CGI characters inhabit beautifully hand-crafted sets.

We spent a long time making sure the tiles had a good shine to them and that the floor of the mouse home was made of real wood. We even put some real dirt on the walls of the mouse burrow. Because the sets were created using so many true-to-life materials, it meant the team creating the felt-covered mice had their work cut out to make the fur look perfectly imperfect, to match up with the live-action footage.
