Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The objective of this campaign was to stand for 'soothing' a benefit completely unique to Sudocrem. In order to achieve this a soothing commercial was created. The beginning of the film see the viewers drawn into an idyllic realm of babbling brooks and relaxing background music. At the centre of this soothing scene we're greeted with graceful pandas performing a soothing tai chi sequence. The CGI panda’s, were individually created perfectly replicating the movements of a real tai chi master to provide perfect authenticity. What follows is a neat segue-way to more homely surroundings, which emphasises the benefits of Sudocrem. We end the film with a giggling and soothed young baby who has just had its nappy changed.

Tell the jury about type(s) of animation or visual effects and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

To create the panda's routine a real life tai chi master was used and each panda was individually built. Once the routine was mapped onto the panda's skeletons the process of adding lifelike hair, individual mannerisms and their relationship with their environment was begun.
