Entry Summary:
The ad ‘Coming Home’ was created for Waitrose’s 2016 Christmas campaign and is based on the real life migration of the Scandinavian robin during the winter months. The spot was created to celebrate the global festive holiday. The subject matter mirrors people who also migrate to their family homes during this time of the year.
Synopsis:
The film depicts a story, based on the real life migration of a Scandinavian robin, of a young, spritely CG bird and his epic journey across vast landscapes, into the garden of a young girl, who eagerly anticipates the annual return of the festive creature at Christmas time. The robin overcomes many difficulties along the way form a falcon attack, to a lighthouse storm before being picked up by a trawler.Our 2D and 3D teams carefully crafted a fully photo-real CG robin full of personality to ensure the viewer emotionally connects with every step of its journey. The robin is finally seen sharing a mince pie with another fellow robin as the girl’s family looks on lovingly before enjoying their Christmas dinner.
