ICE ICE BABY!
For Budget Direct’s new Frozen commercial, we shot in a family home and then transformed it entirely with VFX. Every shot was wrapped in CG ice, built with a custom break-and-shatter system, plus frosty breath added to the talent and a full family of CG penguins brought to life.
Huge thanks to Budget Direct, director Hamish Rothwell @Goodoil, and the team at 303Mullenlowe for allowing us to blast a regular house with a full arctic freeze. 🐧

From the initial call with the legendary Martin Krejci we were buzzing about this idea from the genius minds over at @plus61co . Working with one perfectly timed camera move and the intricacies of hundreds of instruments, our CG needed to hit the right beat not just visually but musically. We designed a system that allowed the control of hundreds of components to both animate in time to the music, yet feel organic in movement. The result is a remarkable one-er that we think is the greatest drumroll of all time
