Here's a fun fact: during the period between New Years Day and Easter, Cadbury's, makers of some of the world's most-beloved chocolate treats, gear their assembly lines to produce 1,500,000 chocolate creme eggs per day. On one hand, it's a feat not only for chocolate-lovers, but confectionaires the world over.On the other hand, it makes Sunny, the adorable egg-guarding bunny in motion animation maestros MPC's first in-house animated stop-motion short film look seriously stingy:From MPC:The short film tells a humorous tale of an office worker as he struggles with a protective, seemingly innocent bunny on a quest for sweets. In this first episode released for Easter, Sunny revels in every opportunity to keep the Easter eggs from Steve, and goes to any length to ensure there is no sharing allowed.“Enjoy the Sweets” is a blend of traditional stop-motion techniques, the latest animation technologies, and an homage to the classic art of storytelling, that takes MPC's approach to blockbuster visual effects to a decidedly smaller scale. Enhancing every frame with quirky details that captures a snippet in the 9-to-5 life set in the 1970s, the MPC team embarked on a journey to concept, design, create, shoot, and edit the two-minute short film - wrangling over 3,000 frames.While Sunny the bunny might not be too keen on it, we here at The Creators Project think sharing is caring.Have a happy holiday with these Enjoy the Sweets behind-the-scenes images:For more info on the forthcoming Sunny and Steve series from MPC, check out their website here.
