Together with Ed Shires, I led the VFX on this piece celebrating the 100 year anniversary of Bentley’s founding. Working with co-directors Aidan Gibbons and Ergin Kuke, I worked hard on the creative pitch to help land the spot, then moved through pre-production, on-set supervision and post to bring the spot together. Ever trying to satisfy my tech lust, I used a 3D scanner on set to grab digital copies of the talent. We were then able to use these as a base for the human sculptures in post. Supported by a wonderful team, we’re all really happy with the results.
