About

A looping holiday animation for Candy Crush's social platforms — storyboarded, modeled, animated, composited, and sound designed start to finish. Made in Cinema 4D & Redshift. The headline here was that all of the classic Candy Crush characters were built out as 3D wooden toys using only flat vector art and some clever Redshift node materials that automatically pulled in the character colors making easy to quickly build out the scene.
