Concept and creative process
This 1998 Christmas campaign reflected the cheekiness of BBC2 through the antics of a group of wicked fairies, each up to no good. Bespoke costumes were made for each wild fairy and all were shot separately against a green screen. Models of the tree, cracker, pudding and glass were created and similarly shot against green screen. Compositing and effects were added in post-production.
