'West of Expected' is a quirky campaign that sends up the snobby cocktail culture and believes that everything can be made better with a little fresh thinking.
Scott Johnson led the 2D team in compositing the cosmos footage into the dome on stage to amp up the planetarium look: "When we first started working on the project, the director and the agency creatives and I did a google search for planetarium domes. We found a few different types and settled on the most visually interesting. The most challenging issue was adding a depth to the sky element: by warping the sky and adding a slight perspective grid, we came to a version everyone was pleased with."
