CCTV Commercial use splashes of water and ink to recreate the history of China!


Here is a commercial for CCTV or Chinese TV. A wash of water and ink splashes are used to recreate both the historical and mythical China as it moves into the present day. The director, or animator, finish the segment off with the creation of the "Bird's Nest" or Olympic Stadium from last year Games to denote how far China has come and finally ends the Beijing skyline. That "N" you see in the middle of the skyline is actually a building.

I am very impressed over how much is accomplished in a 60-second spot.
