01 / Overview

Samsung / Willow

Willow is a stylised rabbit created for a Samsung commercial with Kingdom of Something. Mimic Productions helped develop the character’s form, fur and performance, combining animal features with human-like expressions and gestures.

The work ran from modeling and grooming through animation and rendering. Prop interactions, including a phone and envelopes, gave Willow specific actions to perform within the commercial.

Fur and character detail

Mimic refined the body groom, whiskers and jacket collar, alongside the character’s materials. Lighting tests checked how the fur and ears read in different shots.

A performance with personality

Keyframe animation balanced rabbit traits with human gestures. Rig refinements and animation adjustments supported movement in the limbs and jacket, with attention to timing and arm arcs.

Look development and delivery

The team tested lighting and HDRI variations with Kingdom of Something, then delivered rendered sequences and shot revisions for the final edit.
