ADVERTISING: TV & CINEMA CRAFTS – ANIMATION & SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS
As I mention before this week has been the Loerie Awards and well I make a little research about the agencies involved.
The first Agency is Shy the sun
“Sea Orchestra” is a lively and visually rich commercial that introduces United’s new international first and business class cabins. In it, a United airplane crosses the ocean and is serenaded by an orchestra of animated sea creatures that are playing a unique version of Rhapsody in Blue using tubas, violins, French horns and the Indonesian gamelan. The score was created by Shy the Sun, a South Africa-based directing team, which used hand-drawn textures, computer animation characters and photographs of water, reefs and skies.
