CGSociety – Peta 98% Human

The 98% Human project in early 2011 when BBDO agency EP Verity Grantham
emailed The Mill to say she had a top-secret script they were committed
to and they were looking for a visual effects company to help them
realize their vision. After the script for 98% Human was sent over to The Mill, the team all read it and agreed that The Mill had to be involved with this project.

The spot focuses on the use of primates and is part of PETA’s campaign
“The Great Ape Pledge” which drives viewers to the newly developed
microsite www.greatapepledge.org where they can register to take the vow
to stop the use of primates as actors.

RUIN

Just 1 word “WoW”! Epic scale and proportion given to the environment. Style and camera works are really cool. Absolutely amazing short set in a post-apocalyptic universe by OddBall Animation! Reminds me of The Final Fantasy 🙂

P.S. Looking forward for the next episode 😉

Rise of the Planet of the Apes – Weta Featurette

Featurette video showcasing some of the workflow pipeline from WETA for “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” movie. WETA has really broken through the mo-cap technology by shooting capturing motion outside of a studio. Awesome job as always!
