Cupcakes for Tesco, made by Red Brick Road & NATL

London-based agency The Red Brick Road and  NATL directors through Not To Scale created all TV and print assets fr the recent high-profile Tesco Mobile.

According to NATL creative directors Chris Dooley and David Chun, the clients wanted to use the process of baking a cupcake as a metaphor to highlight their latest offers.  After exploring several design approaches, NATL’s artists modeled a 3D cupcake in Autodesk Maya and hand-drew the cel animation in Adobe Flash, then painstakingly composited the elements together using Adobe After Effects.  The content was broadcast throughout the UK during the London Olympics, and NATL’s imagery also appeared widely in billboards and posters.
