How the Handmade Claymation Video for Apple’s M6 Mac mini Was Brought to Life

Animators Justin Rasch of Stunt Puppet Pictures and Scott DaRos of Threadwood shared how they helped bring director Nicos Livesey’s handmade claymation ad for Apple’s M6 Mac mini to life. The animators showed how the characters and props were sculpted and painted by hand, then animated frame by frame to transform a Mac mini into a bodybuilder, a race car, and a rocket.

A look at the clay-covered hands that helped craft the launch of the new Mac mini.
