BCR “Templars”

A project with a very tight deadline and many changes along the way, calling for a lot of “invisible” stuff. There were 3 variations of the commercials, each involving tracking, set extensions, rotoscoping and 3D insertions.
Oana Iancu, post-production manager for the project: “When Y&R came with the script for the Templars commercials, it was obvious that we would have to combine compositing with 3D. Along the way we realized that this project would get even more complicated because of deadlines, the vision of the director and the lack of motion control equipment.
We ended up doing three alternate endings (all involving CGI, tracking and compositing), set extensions and croma-keying. Our savior for this project was DSG. They got creatively involved, helped the director clarify his vision and even helped in the research for the visuals. They managed to do a flawless job and respect the deadlines. I trust in their technical skills and artistic sense, plus the respect they have for deadlines is a blessing for any producer. They have never let me down, and we worked together a lot!”
