Mill Bangalore | Latest Highlights
Direct Line ‘We’re On It’ | The Mill LDN workshare
Bumblebee – Our team worked on the classic vintage Beetle transformer from the film ‘Bumblebee’ in this Direct Line spot where the transformer is on a mission to save a damsel in distress, breaking through walls and jumping over trains. We were mainly focused on Animation and Lighting for the Bumblebee character. The key challenge was to achieve the transformations convincingly and match the mannerisms of a much-loved character.
Three ‘5G Future’ | The Mill LDN workshare
In Three’s ‘Real 5G’, the team handled the gamer sequence. Our challenge was to integrate 3D elements such as the robotic tail, wings, etc. with live action characters along with other elements such as spaceships. The DMP team (Digital Matte Painting) also contributed to the sky replacement. The challenge here was to figure out the look and feel of the VFX as this spot was part realistic, part fantasy, with flying lasers and explosions.
FDA Anti-vape ‘The Metal Monster’ | The Mill NY workshare
‘The Metal Monster’ is the first in the series of 3 spots in the FDA’s Anti-Vape campaign for 2020. Our talented team led by the amazing Rune Mansson contributed to all CG aspects of the campaign films from Tracking, Assets, DMP, Animation, Fx and Lighting. The particular spot was on a 3-week shot production schedule which is rather tight considering the complexity and the different stages involved. The trickiest parts were getting across the feeling of lurching danger in its predatory movements and conveying the harmful metal particles entering the lungs without making everything too overly animated or forceful.
