Capritor Studios was commissioned by Walter Klassen FX Studio to digitally sculpt an oversized turkey prop for a Campbell's campaign. While the exterior needed to appear as a realistic roasted turkey, the prop was secretly designed as a serving platter for a reveal sequence.
The model was developed in ZBrush and engineered with a removable lid and internal compartments to hold side dishes while maintaining the appearance of a traditional holiday turkey. Special attention was given to realistic proportions, surface texture, and fabrication requirements to ensure the design would translate successfully into a large-format physical prop.
The final asset was delivered as a production-ready model for fabrication. Walter Klassen FX Studio handled the 3D printing, assembly, finishing, and paint work, transforming the digital sculpt into a highly convincing practical prop used in the commercial.
