Christina
Aguilera Signature Fragrance shows the
artist scanning her wardrobe, unable to decide what to wear. She disrobes and
sprays the fragrance across her body, and as the mist lands on her back, a
tattoo is created, resembling the design on the bottle. The commercial was
produced by North Six.
According to Suspect's VFX super/lead Flame artist, Tim
Crean, extensive animation tests were performed to solve the challenge of the
spray and spreading tattoo. Several CG tests were performed using particle
systems, then the directors shot practical elements for the mist to be
incorporated with the live-action.
Suspect's Karen Heston and Jaime Aguirre also served as
Flame artists on the project. Frank Lee provided 2D animation and Lindsay
Bourget handled design. In addition to Flame 2008, the
studio used Adobe After Effects 7
The spot was edited by Chad Sipkin of Consulate. Fergus
McCall at The Mill handled telecine.
