• Agency

  : Saatchi & Saatchi

• Director

  : Saatchi & Saatchi

• Production

This 7sec TVC promotes Kiri during Ramadan 2008. Originally a plate was planned to be used for the background, but we ended up creating the whole environment in 3d, enabling us to have proper camera moves, which of course looks a lot nicer.

• Title

  : Edmonton Elm

• Client

• Agency

• Director

  : Rolling Thunder

• Production

  : Pink House

This massive architectural project for Great House Properties took more than two months to complete. Pink House Films (winner of best production house in Dubai 2008) contracted Rolling Thunder not only to do all the 3d animation required, but also the editing, grading, motion graphics and dvd authoring. We were also asked to supervise the technical aspects for a very challenging CG shot in the opening scene, for which we later did all the 3d tracking, compositing, and a very complex 3d elm tree.

Balancing between humorous and stylish, this Cinema commercial for Almaz by MOMO, with it's Monty Python-esque animation style, was a fun and adventurous project to be part of. The restaurant is Mourad Mazouz's (a famous French chef with two flagship eateries in London, Sketch and Momo) Moroccan themed restaurant in Mall of the Emirates, and is well worth a visit. One Night at Almaz has been shortlisted for Luzherer's Archive.
