O2 - Unwrap the magic of Christmas - Spot

I had the chance to start this project by pre-visualisation 3d first and later to lead and animate the little cute Bubl Bot (O2 mascot) in this new funny and challenging commercial for O2 with an amazing team in MPC. The spot starts with Darcy Murdoch, a young professional ice skater from Dundee, hesitantly takes to the ice rink alone in an epic winter landscape, and she begins to take her first steps on the ice, O2's brand mascot - Bubl the robot - comes to help her out. The sweet Christmas spot then follows Bubl and Darcy gliding around on the ice, supporting each other and enjoying the magical scene.
