Sky - Q — Dan Moller VFX

Working with director Johnny Green and agency Brothers and Sisters, I worked as one of 4 CG Leads on this campaign, creating 4 separate commercials over a period of around 8 months. Together, we supervised 52 VFX artists to create fully CG “liquid TV screen” droplets splashing around various interior environments.

Behind the Scenes

The Mill recently collaborated with Brothers & Sisters and award winning director Johnny Green out of Biscuit, to bring the explosive and visually epic new Sky ‘Q’ spot to life. Dan Williams, Creative Director and Lead 2D Artist and Francois Roisin, Lead 3D Artist and Joint Creative Director on 'Sky Q' explain how they create the liquid hero in this highly complex project. http://www.themill.com/millchannel/663/crafting-cg-fluid-viewing-for-sky Watch the final film here: https://vimeo.com/155166787 Follow @Millchannel on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram for more updates.
