16.01.2022 Partnering with The Royals and BAT Collective for this campaign for Natural Cracker Co. was an absolute dream project and gave us the opportunity to explore our full range of VFX & animation wizardry. Blackbird shot location plates and executed full environment enhancements to get everything into a heightened reality. Starting with character & environment concepts, CG builds for various environment assets, adding trees, streams, fences & farm structures and then bringing our adorable animals to life with fur and feathers, finished of course with seamless integration of all elements to bring this world to the screen. thankyou The Royals Rene Shalala, Lewis Farrar, @pete sherrah, Bat collective, Nylon Studios Simon Lister http://blackbird.la/index.php/archive/?id=67

06.01.2022 While photoreal and totally believable is always the goal with our VFX work, this shot from our work for the upcoming series The Commons on Stan is disturbingly reflective of what we’re seeing in Sydney today. Our thoughts go out to all of those affected by the bushfires and to those fighting them. There are many places you can donate to help those who need it including the Red Cross and the RSPCA. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ob12Dg0Q3/
