Check out Mildred the surfing sheep who took to the waves on behalf of surf clothing brand Finisterre!
Finisterre's film was produced by London agency DLKW, which mustered up the directional and digital genius of Dom and Nic. They won wide acclaim for their work with the Chemical Brothers, winning 'Best Special Effects' at the 2006 CADS Music Vision Awards.
Check out the Mildred the surfing sheep in the mind-blowing video above.
Implications - Sheep are funny enough on their own, now add a vast ocean and a surf board and you have all of the elements required to make a viral video! While I'm a little confused as to how this was even possible, Mildred the surfing sheep is not digitally constructed, which makes this video even more mind blowing.
