Canal Kitchen

VFX-Studio: Unit Image – Agency: BETC – Production: Frederic Genest / Partizan – Postproduction: Royal Post – Client: Canal – Country: France

Unit Image realised a multitude of tasks for this commercial in the short time available: 2D, 3D and VFX had to be combined to create a seamless commercial kitchen illusion. Each effect is unique, so the team spent a lot of time on look development and wrote numerous scripts. The project was realised with a 30-strong team in a time frame of five weeks.

Here is the making-of:

Afterwork

Studios: Matte CG, Uson Studio, Apus Estudios – Director: Luis Uson – Co-Director: Andres Aguilar – Country: Ecuador – Software: ZBrush, Maya, V-Ray, After Effects, Nuke

The private project about the cartoon rabbit in routine burnout was the most ambitious in the 12-year history of Matte CG from Quito, Ecuador. The team filmed the flat backgrounds in real life, but also recreated the flat in 3D for some of the post-production scenes. The 2D sequence was realised by Apus Estudios from Peru, while Uson Studios helped with the animation of the 3D character.
