Directed by MPC Creative’s Marc Smith, Microsoft “Holiday Harmony” follows the interplanetary adventures of a young girl and her Yeti as they encounter a cast of characters in need of love and support.

From MPC: “The piece features characters that are available on the Remix 3D (which the ad is promoting), a Microsoft library and community site for sharing and building on creations made with various 3D programs.

“These characters needed to be re-created by MPC for the animation while keeping the integrity of the original look. In addition, MPC was able to develop some original characters featured in the final party scene.

“The spot was concepted by m:united/McCann and the live action was directed by Roman Coppola with the Directors Bureau.”
