Face the Darkness
by Andreas Bruns, Philipp Walz, Carl Schröter, Francesco Faranna & Emanuel Fuchs, from the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg/Germany
As the commercial was not a real customer order, the student team was able to design it freely. The advert was shot with 9 people in the barren yet beautiful landscape of Iceland. The team used the AR/VR real-time camera tracking solution Ncam on location, connected to a generator, so that the final CG monster added later in post could already be seen in the viewfinder on set. The aerial shots were filmed with a Panasonic GH4 camera on a custom DJI S900 drone, while the remaining scenes were shot with a Sony F55. Other tools used for the project were Maya, Nuke Studio, Houdini, Mantra, ZBrush, Mari, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Ftrack and Syncsketch.
