30 Years of The Mill | Senior Animator, Navdeep Singh

What piece of work do you believe pushed the boundaries of production creativity & why?

It would have to be Peta ‘98% Human’, I doubt anyone would disagree that it was one of the projects that brought the production quality of The Mill to the absolute next level. There have been instances where I have introduced myself as a Mill artist, to someone from another studio and almost instantly they mention ‘98% Human’. It truly shows how highly rated that spot is throughout our industry. I am glad they made a behind the scenes for it because I can imagine it was quite challenging to explain that the chimpanzee isn’t real.

What will be the most defining change in the creative industry over the next decade?  

I wouldn’t be surprised to see AI commercials popping up within the next decade. I can imagine a process in which you bring your product into a studio, select a layout preset, a robot arm with a camera will then film 5-8 shots, edit it to the music and export it out in various formats. Think of it as a giant commercial vending machine for small-scale companies with less budget.
