TOP THREE PROJECTS IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS

Robots

A robot was being replaced by a superhuman employee. In this Berocca TV ad for Bayer Philippines, the challenge for director Martin Arnaldo was shooting the live action human, with the rest of the 3D animated robots cast to be added later. VFX team successfully infused characters and emotions in the 3D animated robots. Real actors, who acted out the robots’ parts, served as the template for the 3D animated counterparts. To give a more realistic feel, the scene was shot onset using film. This way, the robots were brought to the real world.

Surreal

Depicting a man whose super strength rises above the post-apocalyptic setting, this TVC for Interbev Philippines’ Cobra Energy Drink was directed by Sid Maderazo. Produced by ad agency Euro-RSCG Manila, the actor’s live action shot was against a backdrop of city ruins. Heavy matte painting had to be done in order to change the entire live action location into a realistically rendered, surreal apocalyptic feel. The plot involved heavy 3D animations of aggressive electric wires, rising walls of concrete – and the most challenging of all, the collision of the hero against a dark, massive train.

Independencia

Co-produced by RoadRunner, this full-length feature film is Philippines’ first to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard Category. The full DI process complemented the silent film treatment through color correction and visual effects, as envisioned by director Raya Martin. The whole effect was capped by RoadRunner’s impressive sound design and Dolby Digital 5.1 mix.
