Brief

The Mill/MPC was commissioned to provide VFX and colour grade on a series of films directed by David Wilson and spoken by the legendary ‘voice of ideas’ Grace Jones. Facebook wanted to show the world that Good Ideas Deserve to be Found.

Approach

The spot was graded by The Mill/MPC Colourist Peter Oppersdorff and developed with Droga5 and Riff Raff director David Wilson. The accents on vibrant entrepreneurship as we visit a Tallahassee goat-yoga farm, a San Diego cat-adoption cafe, and a Houston-based maker of handbags fusing African and Western motifs.

Impact

The film has received over 50,000 YouTube views and won a Bronze Kinsale Shark Award for Best Colour Grade.

“This campaign represents the best kind of challenge as a Colourist. To turn a great idea and brief into something special. Some very complex shape work was used to give the art direction and cinematography the polish it deserved. Almost every single element of each shot was refined or enhanced. Good communication and a methodical approach to the grade was critical in achieving an optimal finish, whilst ensuring constant and smooth collaboration between 2D and Colour.”
Peter Oppersdorff, Colourist, MPC
