It is never easy to convince an alligator to play the position of goalie on a team of wild animals, especially with humans as the opposing team so it was necessary to create these creatures in full CGI!

Longtime collaborator THIERRY POIRAUD envisioned a soccer match between these creatures and the challenge here was to integrate these sports playing animals into the filmed plates of competing human players while maintaining a sense of what we like to call “plausible unreality” – an impossible situation that seems photo real and authentic. This spot won “Visual Effects” at the 2010 London International Awards.
