Top Three Projects in the last 12 months

Australia - Feature Film

The Lab Sydney’s Head of Film & Television Prue Fletcher and VFX Supervisor Tony Cole worked closely together with Australia’s VFX Supervisor Chris Godfrey and Jamie Price, to produce over 230 VFX shots for Baz Luhrmann’s epic movie, Australia. VFX work was completed using the latest desktop compositing systems, Nuke & Shake in addition to two dedicated Flame Suites whilst the reviewing of composited shots was screened in Baselight 4. The Lab not only handled complex 2D/3D compositing sequences, we supported many of our local and overseas vendors with Chris Godfrey’s direction.

Air Wick ‘There is no smell like home’ – Commercial

The Lab 3D Commercial team were commissioned to create the latest Air Wick spot ‘Not so empty nest’ for Euro RSCG. Co-directed by Garry Jacques and Clinton Downs, the team started from scratch to design, develop and create a family of not so ordinary ostriches. The ostrich family was designed to have a strong human sensibility, while retaining fundamental ostrich characteristics. A level of creative license was applied during the character design phase which included human hairstyles and clothing suited to ostrich anatomy. The end result is a somewhat stunning TVC which pushes the Air Wick franchise to a new creative level.

Sony Cyber-Shot – Commercial

Saatchi & Saatchi approached The Lab Sydney to create a completely true-to-life animation of designer objects melting into liquid mercury, which then in–turn transforms into the new Sony Cyber-Shot camera. Directed by The Lab’s Garry Jacques with the animation led by Clinton Downs, the result is a piece that delicately flows between total reality and CG visual magic.
