Bombay Sapphire

Bombay Sapphire

About

A social media film for Bombay Sapphire. Multiple plates of fruit & booze were propelled into the air by dropping the entire set and camera together at lightning fast speeds with a Bolt high-speed motion control rig. We then reversed everything so the liquid heads back down towards the glass and comped the best plates together. You’d think that a they’d use water on set for the clear liquid but Bombay Sapphire aren’t short of a bit of gin so up in the air it went.

Nike – ‘Nothing Beats a Londoner’

About

My absolute pleasure to play a part in this project alongside the immensely talented team at Time Based Arts behind this spot for Nike. The ad from Wieden & Kennedy, directed by Megaforce, shows how hard Londoners have it (and therefore are) as they 1 up each other in their training regimes.

If you watch to the very end you’ll see the one shot I did.

TK Maxx – ‘A White Christmas’

About

Friend director Ian Pons Jewell along with Wieden & Kennedy bring us TK Maxx’s 2017 Christmas ad. TK Maxx offer shoppers the chance to win a white Christmas by finding one of a limited number of snow globes that will be hidden in TK Maxx stores across the country. Seeing as the last white Christmas to occur naturally in England was back in 2010 this is probably your best bet. This ad shows a family who have won the prize getting more than they bargained for when the TK Maxx snow team show up and blast the whole family including the cat & dog with snow cannons.

Argos – ‘Bounding’ – 2017 Adapt

About

This ad was originally posted at Electric Theatre Collective in 2016. I worked on the 2017 adapt version at Big Buoy when some of the products had changed and needed to be either removed from or replaced in the ad. The VFX work included removing the guitar that the doll was holding in the first 2 shots, changing the colour of a couple of lamps and replacing the cushion cover on the cushion that the man somersaults in with and delivers to a woman at her door. Below are some split screens taken from the original ad on the left and the revised ad on the right.

Vodafone – ‘Red’

Vodafone – ‘Red’

About

It was an absolute pleasure to work with the very talented team at Time Based Arts for the first time on this Vodafone commercial directed by Aleksander Bach in which a mysterious red light illuminates various night time scenes across Germany until the entire country lights up red (which is the bit I did). Time Based Arts has this to say: “I just received my new phone from Vodafone. It was really weird though as it wasn’t delivered by courier as is normal but a huge red streaking light flew at me and handed me my phone. Although I was originally scared witless by the light and now see it as excellence customer service and this lovely advert makes much more sense to me now!”

Dermalex – ‘Stronger Skin’

Dermalex – ‘Stronger Skin’

About

A commercial for skin care brand Dermalex from Hometown London. Some pieces of text were captured in camera having been painted directly onto the models skin. Other words were added in post in their final position and tracked backwards through the camera move so that when played forwards they appear to start broken up and then resolve as a readable word. A series of wipes and seamless joins were added throughout the second half of the film to connect the shots together, creating the appearance of one continuous camera move from scene to scene. The final transition from the girl against the wall through to the pack shot involved building a CG scene of the hexagon set in Flame to bridge the gap between the 2 camera moves. Other VFX work included general set cleanup, beauty work & pack replacements.
