Too many people on this train. Also not enough walls. 🚊☁️

[ID: Split Screen - the top is a screen grab from our OUA commercial, with our talent, Steph, sitting on a train with the city zooming past in the window behind her. The bottom image is a BTS shot from the shoot day of the same scene, but showing the set, and all the people standing around making movie magic with lights and props etc]

This absolute stunner of a commercial came out over the weekend and we could not be more proud. Please stand by for many upcoming posts of BTS and process because there are a lot and we like bragging about how clever we are. A huge effort from everyone. Iconic.

Hey Internet.
Our latest creation has just been released. Enormous gratitude-stuffed thanks to the team that worked tirelessly to make this project happen.

Special shoutout to Haley Polacik for producing this madness, Christian Hart for the epic landscapes, Chris Gray for the tracking wizardry that was achieved in a crazy short amount of time, Trent Denham and Alex Whillance for the majestic wing action, C-Biscuit Cj Dobson) for the wonderful grade, Edward Goldner for the (as always) epic cinematography, Chloe Greaves and Nat Burley for Making Jess look a million bucks, Saskia Vaneveld, Alissa Garland, Anne Simmons and Liam Gordes for their onset support and of course Guy Franklinand John Gavin for pouring 2 X heart and soul into the direction of what we think is a pretty special music video.
Also big thanks to the long list of roto and paint folks that helped us turn this around in record time. You are all wonderful.
Last but not least thanks to Jessica Cerro (Montaigne) for creating a beautiful piece of music and trusting us to make the pictures for it. We think you’re a very talented human xx . / p i x e l .

Good morning glorious wide world of web. Pixel is looking for a new full-time 3D compositor/creative magician type to join the folds.
In addition to being an excellent human being with a shiny heart of gold you must also be a dammmn good compositor with a jaw dropping showreel and be at skill level “guru” in After Effect and/or Nuke.
Does this sound like you? Maybe it’s the guy/girl sitting next to you? Maybe it’s that talented chap you work with who keeps claiming all the good projects whose murder you’ve been plotting? There’s an easier solution! Send them to our website - “pixel.melbourne/contact” for all the specifics and rid your life of that wonderful son of a gun forever.
Love ./pixel.

Just finished a fun little Carlton Dry spot for the guys over at Clemenger, nothing better than a little 12fps on a Tuesday morning ;)

It has been a busy ol' week at Pixel! Marty was neck deep in beer, whipping up a few spots for Carlton Draught's 'Amber Jubilee'. Directed by Exit's Grantley Smith, via Clemenger BBDO....it would just be plain rude not to join in on the celebrations!
