Thornton's Christmas Ostrich to take Santa's crown

Mother chose Golden Square to create and launch their Christmas Thorntons Campaign 'Carol of believers'.

The commercial starts with a young choir singing in a town square; bringing Christmas cheer to those out shopping.

The Christmas cheer, however, is short lived as it seems one young man within the choir isn't open to the idea of celebrating the festivities causing a member of the audience to turn into an Ostrich. A shadow has been cast over the choir until someone has an idea; feed your Thornton's chocolate to the doubter and see the magic commence. All at once the unhappy boy becomes a pitch perfect choir boy. The results are endless it seems as various others in the audience are transformed into a reindeer, snowman and an Ostrich dressed as Santa.

Flame op Fasa Oyibo spent time compositing each member of the audience onto the town square along with creating 3D snow, a Santa hat and beard. As there wasn't enough time to dress the set it was left to Fasa to create the winter setting using plates captured in camera along with enhancing the Christmas lights to create the warmth of the event.
