Homenyc posted two HD ads for the Super Bowl, which will
live on in theatrical exhibition. Artists at the facility used the Autodesk
Smoke editing and finishing system to cut Izod's In the Snow commercial, which was shot in Iceland. The studio
also used Smoke to conform an ad for Van Heusen. Visual effects work for both
ads was completed in Flame, and rotoscoping was performed using the Combustion
desktop compositing application.
Brickyard VFX used the Autodesk Flame visual effects systems
to complete several shots for a humorous Diamond Foods commercial promoting its
Emerald snack brand. The spot features entertainer Robert Goulet, who
terrorizes an office full of sleeping employees. The studio's work centered
around Goulet's escape, during which he is shown crawling on the ceiling.
The Mill used Smoke, Flame and Combustion to post a variety
of commercials, including Snickers' Mechanics (Flame and Combustion), FedEx's Moon Office (Smoke and Flame) and Not What it Seems (Flame and Combustion), Sierra Mist's Karate,
Hospital, and Comb-over (Smoke), Pizza Hut's Poparazzi and Herd
(Smoke), Budweiser's King Crab (Smoke
and Flame), and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company's Rollin' VIP (Smoke).
