This delicate and difficult to achieve concept was painstakingly created at Not To Scale London using Softimage for modeling and animation , fluid simulation in Houdini and Composited in After effects, whilst Ubik also cast and shot the expertly integrated live action family and pack. Refreshing indeed.
