It’s always a good production when it takes place in Hawaii 🌴😎☀️
We can’t wait to share the final work!🌊
Did you say...chocolate?!🍫
Check out this new spot from our director Jamieson Mulholland in collaboration with our friends at Mars.
"Very excited that this footage has finally been released and I can share it! I really loved this project. It was technically challenging and we had way too much to shoot, but somehow it all came together.
This was all shot practically, and none of it is CGI. Even the wrapper at the end was stop motion. That said, there was a lot of post cleanup and did an incredible job." - Jamieson Mulholland
