Still in the ring, still fighting. 💙 It was an honour to be part of this year’s @FightMND campaign alongside @mitchkennedy, shining a light on how every Aussie can use their head in the fight against MND. Use your head. Buy a beanie. Get around the Big Freeze.

We were excited to be involved early on in production and had the opportunity to VFX supervise and composite this hero shot for the AFL. Using green screens would have slowed production too much, so we opted for a traditional roto/comp approach, which delivered great results.

Careful planning ensured there were no crossovers between plates, and we’re really pleased with how it turned out.
