Cirkus stages small moments for Ayala Malls through MRM McCann Philippines and Film Pabrika
MRM McCann Philippines and Film Pabrika briefed Cirkus to create the timeless magic that can be experienced when visiting one of the many Ayala Malls. Yes – Mall Life is a thing in the Philippines and Ayala offers up so much that friends and family alike spend much of their free time in these well-appointed shopping centres.
The Cirkus team set out to create an amazing world suspended in time, building a miniature set featuring scenes that are reminiscent of moments experienced at Ayala Malls. The film shows the small but valuable moments in life like watching a movie, a walk in the park and enjoying wonderful music. The intimate, tactile miniatures and setting help capture the innocence of these seemingly simple propositions.
The whole set is created by hand but for some CGI set extensions and floating elements. The miniature characters, while they are indeed physical models placed in situ for filming, also went through a CGI process to get where they are. Models, dressed in the clothes you see on the characters, were 3D scanned to create CGI models. These CGI versions of our human talent were then modified to ensure they had Filipino features (with some wardrobe adjustments as required) before being sent off to the printers.
