| PATAKS The challenge for this commercial was to show and describe how to make a delicious Biryani in under 10 seconds! Shot on 35 mm with motion control director Charlie Paul, it involved tight synchronisation in the adding of ingredients and delivery of delicious looking hot food, while the camera needed to appear in nearly impossible places like the inside of the oven as the gas flame is ignited. The end result delivers gorgeous food that looks decidedly easy to make at home! This film is designed to appear alongside the Pataks brand ads using the same musical track to tie them in. | |||||

| ERISTOFF This series of product end frames for Eristoff’s commercial featuring the wolf at night was created to evoke an intense and exciting series of moody bottle and drink shots. Director Charlie Paul explains, “Because the bottle has lots of detail, spins into camera, with the moon rising through it and the glass of vodka is live and next to the bottle, a complicated series of passes were shot to give post production plenty of material to work with to make the whole picture look fantastic.” Compositing work was at Rushes Post Production by Adam Watson and Omar Akarri who added lightening and atmosphere for this stunning end result matching the feel of the commercial. | |||||
