Collaborating once again in our very own E4/Channel 4 mob, 4Creative, director Neil Gorringe and our Mill team seamlessly bring it all together again after previous award-winning success with promo's for 'Misfit's' and 'Inbetweener's'.
The 60-second spot symbolically introduces the birth of eight new cast members. Laid bare - the promo sees our new teenagers, naked and in foetal-like positions first floating, then plummeting through an abyss, where they literally 'fall' in to their clothes, all the time gaining speeds and ground getting ever closer...
Shot on Phantom at speeds of up to 1000 frames per second, a mixture of trampolines, crash mats, harnesses and rotating plinths to name a few were all utilised in our quest for the perfect look for the stunning visceral shots.
The cast were then composited together in Flame and Nuke, and we added depth of field and subtle tweaks to the atmosphere and lighting elements to create the heart stopping, frantic last moments.
Check it out before it crashes on to our screens this January!
