post production summary:

Venomocity is an anti-smoking organization that has a history of really edgy advertising.  This 15 second commercial was created to promote a website that allows user to connect via a smart phone - receiving creepy text messages to scare you out of going outside for a smoke.  I have always loved the spots from this twisted series and was happy to contribute.

I had one static shot to work with (phone tap) and a bunch of graphic elements, 3D creature stills & 3 days to get it all done.  The composite and motion graphics (2.5D segment) were built in After Effects.  All the particle layers were constructed in combustion & cinema 4D - rendered & then brought into the composite.  The monster effect was done using a stop frame technique - taking one image at a time and repositioning the characters arms & other parts (?) like a digital puppet.  Glow and light burst effects were added to finish the look.  

thanks to the Riester team for their assistance! 

concept to completion: 3 days
