Its hard to believe they are actual persons acting with stage set up, rather than animation!! Thats wat makes it amazing concept!!

The films were shot by Nirvana in Cape Town, South Africa, with the help of a local production house there, called Platypus. Incidentally, the same combination of people also worked on the Happy to Help series last year. When asked whether Cape Town is fast becoming a tourist spot for Vodafone and Nirvana, Varma laughs, saying, Oh no! Its just that we are very comfortable with the team there and know what sort of work to expect from them.

Thanks for the info. I am a little surprised to learn that they are actually humans :) I was under the assumption that it is all animation :). To my knowledge, the 30 ads were completed for 3 Crore. 1 crore for each ad is a li'l too expensive!

They are actually humans.. Here s an interesting excerpt :

Prakash Varma, ad filmmaker, Nirvana Films, has directed the commercials. He says " No, they arent animated characters. They are human beings who were made to wear body suits. The design of the characters is such that one gets fooled into thinking it is animation, shrugs Rao, which was indeed the very illusion that had to be created. In a sense, it is live animation! he quips, referring to the fact that it was all shot live. "

All Zoozoo characters are human, south african theater actors(specially females), wearing egg shaped customized helmet. The helmet has no hole to view outside. These character are blind (a very small hole to hear and breath) when actually shooting is done.

Vodafone has tied up with O&M to create 30 ads during IPL.

Each day, during IPL , they will release one new ad.

Each ad making cost is Rs. 1 crore only by O&M

Zoozoo has gained more then 46240 fans on facebook
