Here is a compilation of the Domino’s Pizza adverts. I was involved in various parts of this production. The live action was shot with a motion controlled camera and gives a real crisp feel to the backgrounds. The backgrounds were tracked in 3d as we had trouble getting the motion control data into our 3d application. I built and animated the 3d box and made sure it tracked nicely to integrate into the scenes. During linetest stage with the animation we were preparing all the matte runs and roughly tracking the characters into the scenes. I shared the compositing with another compositor for the final touches after linetest stage. These were played during the popular series The Simpsons on Sky One.

This was a job completed at BEanimation.

During this production I was involved in all aspects from linetest to final post production. This advert I was also asked to create some 3d props. The pack that flies into the air (shots 4,5, and 7) and also the football that is catapulted into the trees and bounces around (shots 13, 14, and 16). There was rig removal notably on the shots where Quiky is pulling back the catapult. Shot 16 (ball bouncing around the tree) was also lit in post production to match earlier shots where you could see the sun shining through the trees. Quiky had his tones applied and graded accordingly and various cast shadows drawn in to integrate him into the scenes.

I was compositing on this job, it entailed treating alot of the 3d artwork.  The first group of shots of the sea had entire new skies placed in to look more moody and with a stronger storm feeling.  Alot of the 3d elements needed better integration into the shots with colour grading, we added quite a few camera effects in post different depth of field blurs on shots.  Shot 4 (wave crashing into the boat)  was some stock footage that we  purchased, it was masked out positioned and distorted to create the feel we wanted.  This had alot of treatment to it so that the whites of the wave looked fluffy white and so that it matched the 3d sea.  There were various shadows painted onto the boat to help integrate the wave better.  Shot 7 (the chocolate swirl) was created in lightwave (by a freelancer) but had a few issues the shape and twirl was working well but the middle had an awkward shape that needed to be fixed in post.  Also the render was not looking as “wet” as this final version, it was graded substantially with various passes extracted from the original render to produce the final look.
The underwater scenes had alot of bubbles added and little plant life placed in.  The red fish in various scene were modeled and setup for animation in Lightwave.  These jobs normally have about 12 different versions for different countries and a cut down of 20seconds created.  These are all played out to a digi-beta

I worked on this advert during all stages of production.  It concluded with a 2 day post production with the clients.  At this stage it was minor tweaks and adjustments mostly to Quiky’s (the rabbit) tones and integration into the live action shots.
In shot 6 (climbing the fridge) I created the props of the letters in Maya, these were lit, and animated to match the live action plate and Quiky’s animation.  The live action required much resizing and repositioning as the client was not very happy with the way the camera moved in this scene.  We had to reframe much tighter in the shot and force the camera to pull out whilst keeping the fridge top in the same position.
Shot 11 (Quiky jumping from the hammock) required the pack to be clearer so we tracked in some new artwork.
