The brief was to create scientifically accurate 3D skeletons for a 47 million year-old creature, based on an early primate fossil named Ida.
Starting by commissioning a 3D scan of a ring-tailed lemur skeleton, ZOO used the base model to rebuild the Ida skeleton model with scientific accuracy.
ZOO were also tasked with creating a landscape of the Messel pit site in Germany were the Ida fossil was preserved.
The team used the Vue environment software to form a dynamic landscape and Particle Flow for the explosion, dust and debris.
Compositing and grading on all 3D images was done using After Effects and rendered using mental ray.
The work will be shown in The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor on BBC1 on 26 May at 9pm.
