In the kitchen
IKEA
|
>> Watch here |
Our vfx team joined up with director Fredrik Callinggard and Bully Pictures to create this vfx driven spot for Ikea US. The challenge was to create a seamless effect of an Ikea kitchen coming to life, in perfect timing with the movements and actions of the people using it. To achieve this we used a combination of motion control and CGI, our supervisor attended the shoot in New York to coordinate all the passes that we would need for this. Many of the elements were created in CG, then they were animated and matchmoved to get just the right flow and rhythm into the spot. Before compositing it all together, we carefully did the lightning and rendering on all the CG to give it a photo real look. |

More high speed destruction
DR Nu
|
>> Watch here |
To promote the new web based live TV player, DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) produced this stylish TV spot. The commercial has been shown in heavy rotation right from the start. The idea for DR was to communicate that viewers no longer need their televisions - "Now you can watch live TV on your computer!" Gimmick did the VFX, color grade and CGI for this television mayhem. |

Bzzzzz...
Carlsberg Sport "Wasp Race"
|
>> Watch here |
Gimmick's VFX team was awarded with the Carlsberg Sport 2010 campaign spot. The idea was to have Wasps race through a house, wreckaging everything in their path Before shooting we prevized the whole spot with the director, in order to nail down all camera angles and which plates would be needed. Our VFX supervisor attended the shoot to help production getting the right shots for the VFX work and record lightning conditions. Afterwards followed an extensive R&D period to develope the CGI wasps, before camera tracking the whole spot and finalizing the compositing. |
