When we saw last years Dancing On Ice trailer our immediate thoughts were "wow, really cool and definitely something we at FABLEfx would love to have been a part of!" So saying we were heads over heels when we were approached this year would be a huge understatement. After seeing the witty animatic we both saw it's huge potential but also how much more advanced and challenging this would be. With some additional water and ice vfx help by our friends at ILP, we must say we think this turned out pretty awesome All we can say is thank you HU_SH and ITV for giving us this opportunity. We hope this will return next year again. -We are ready!
