Brief Explanation

Sperm Dance is a TVC for the Space Shower TV's 'Music Saves Tomorrow' campaign. We wanted to create a visual experience that grabs the attention of young audience looking for some crazy quirky stuff on the music channel. So we came up with an idea of the "dancing sperms" which represents the seeds of tomorrow. We actually filmed the sperms of the entire creative staff using a biological microscope, and extracted its shapes and motion data to create the realistic animation. The animation and its "making of" process were widely shared on various blogs and magazines.
