About

I was the 2D Lead on an epic series of four spots for King C Gillette beard products.

There was some nifty crowd duplication under layers of smoke and snow, with some relighting, CG product comp and the usual cleanup challenges in the mix as well.

Was great to work with Heckler’s Amsterdam office on this one. And I had the mighty Pedro Henrique Santos assisting me, so it was a bit of a dream team.
