NATL Directors Shoot New O2 Simplicity Spots
For the latest United Kingdom-targeted campaign from O2 and advertising agency VCCP, NATL directors Brumby Boylston and Chris Dooley worked through London-based Not To Scale to produce two VFX-intensive spots – as well as the campaign’s digital and print elements.
Footage from their original live-action shoot on green-screen in London was artfully composited into CG environments created in NATL’s New York studio.
Boylston and Dooley shared these notes on the project: "From VCCP's initial creative brief we were excited about the challenge of creating not only a series of TV spots, but all associated print and digital assets (including web and animation for in-store and outdoor plasma screens) related to this campaign. The colour treatment of our actress and extras, the look of the SIM cards, agency and client collaboration, as well as internal supervision and creative direction, ensured every aspect of this campaign was in sync, right down to the very last lens flare."
