Contact UsThe Gorilla With Chill
Bongo is one of our most complex animatronic suits – which is why it made the perfect choice for this shoot full of personality for California CBD drinks.
We spent 2 days in Mexico City capturing a variety of videos and stills for a multimedia campaign spanning television and internet media outlets, capturing Bongo’s complete range of emotions along the way.
We had a temper that would rival King Kong and, on the flip side, a contender for ‘Dad of the Year’ – all made possible with our animatronic head, with a little help from a unicorn bathrobe.
Despite this shoot taking place at the height of COVID-19 restrictions, it was painless and highly enjoyable thanks to a professional, friendly team.
