A Critter Carol

 

Another holiday ad for Apple. This time, puppets were on my bucket list.

When an iPhone gets lost in the woods, a rag tag group of woodland critters takes it upon themselves to deliver a goofy rendition of The Flight of the Conchord’s classic, “Friends.”

Bum, bum, bum…

 
 

The Film

A critter carol - Shot on iPhone 17 Pro

Shot 100% on the new iPhone 17 Pro Max and 100% human/hand-made puppets and forest. This piece was a labor of love from the updated rendition of the song, to the 12 custom made scruffy puppets, to the beautiful and considered hand printed block type font.
