Check out this amazing work done by one of our clients – Pixomondo. Pixomondo collaborated with TBWAChiatDay to create this dance infused fluid commercial for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. They shot Skrillex on a stage in Venice along with the dancer whom they used as the inspiration for the pulsating liquids.
From Dexigner Article:
“From a technical standpoint, creating this work was very challenging, but it was also a lot of fun and something we hadn’t really done before,” said Simon Mowbray, Pixomondo Creative Director. “We were aiming to create a kinetic piece that works intimately with the music and I think the spot does exactly that. Everyday we were finding new solutions and kind of making things up as we went. Matt is an outstanding director and was very involved, working side by side with us at Pixomondo to the benefit of the project.
A team of six artists in Los Angeles and Berlin, two of Pixomondo’s 11 studios around the world, spent about three and a half weeks working on the spot. Elements were modeled and animated in Autodesk 3DS Max and Cinema 4D. Other tools used include Particle Flow, Frost, After Effects, Maya, and FBX for integrating project files across software packages.
