Some BTS of our recent ad with CNESST, Rodeo & Cosette.

See Creature Animation, in collaboration with Cossette and Rodeo FX Production, have released Hanging By A Thread, a 60-second stop-motion commercial

INSPIRED BY TERMINATOR 2

We've long admired the iconic mirror shot from Terminator 2, and recently, that inspiration helped us solve a stop-motion challenge. We needed a shot that showed the inside of a puppet's head in the foreground without capturing the camera's reflection. Instead of using a real mirror, we animated the two puppets in perfect sync to create the illusion. This approach worked brilliantly!

Psychological health can hang by a thread.

The campaign uses a striking visual metaphor to show how fragile mental health can feel at work, almost like it's "hanging by a thread." To bring this idea to life, we designed crochet characters that represent different workplace risks, like harassment and violence, aiming to spark open conversations and encourage proactive solutions. Working with Cossette and Rodeo Production, each element was handmade with a mix of 3D printing, crochet, and traditional stop motion techniques creating a unique visual that brings a sensitive touch to the message. Keep an eye out for this campaign across Quebec on TV, online, radio, billboards, and social media.

Huge thanks to the dream team
