Campaign:
HD Movies Idents
"We approached The Mill as they have a clear pedigree in delivering cinematic scale effects," said DixonBaxi's Simon Dixon. "From the very start of the project The Mill team worked hard to deliver on both the creative and technical levels of the HD movie experience."
Luke Colson, Head of Mill Studio, explains further: "The concept of the idents was to show HD like never before and have each ident showing a film from a specific genre alongside or interacting with our glossy and slick logo. The process of finding the right films and then the right shots for the idents as well as storyboarding each 15 second spot was only the beginning of the process.
"Next, the animatics were pieced together in After Effects and the logo was animated and rendered in CG with all the live action being rotoscoped and comped in our Nuke Studio."
This is the latest project The Mill has collaborated on the design, execution and visual effects elements, making the most of both our new Design Studio space and our ever-growing Nuke Studio.
