New VFX Work – Myprotein Standards Academy

It was a pleasure to work with director Jimmy Killeen and the team at ANTFARM again, this time on a spot for our old friends at Myprotein.

Across this hilarious ‘Standards Academy’ spot, we took care of some VFX clean-up, compositing and localising in-camera assets across a few scenes for the international edits.

The ANTFARM team and Jimmy smashed this as always, thanks for having us on board! (runs to grab a protein shake before we’re caught by Ryan Terry 👀)

We’re really happy to see our Birmingham 2026 ‘One Week to Go’ project named one of this week’s best branded FOOH campaigns by the team at FOOHbase. We’re in good company, featuring alongside brands like Samsung, Apple Music and KFC.

Last week, the European Athletics Championships came to the UK for the first time, and we helped celebrate the ‘One Week to Go’ milestone by raining giant pieces of athletics equipment down on a willing team of actors around some key Birmingham landmarks (as you do!).

Thanks to the FOOHbase team for another feature!

New Work: Birmingham 2026 - One Week to Go

Following the success of our ‘Month to Go’ drone show for the first-ever European Athletics Championships to take place in the UK, we were back with Birmingham 2026 for a new project to mark ‘One Week to Go’.

We took to the streets of Birmingham on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year, accompanied by a stellar, and very well-hydrated, troupe of supporting artists who did a brilliant job reacting to the giant imaginary equipment we told them was raining down from on high!

Undeterred by the heat, and with the city looking fabulous in the sun, we shot all the VFX plates we needed at key locations across the city centre, including the Bullring, Town Hall, Library and Birmingham’s famous canals.

It all came together in post, where we dug into our FOOH bag of tricks to bring a variety of track and field apparatus to the streets in dramatic fashion, with all 3D animation, compositing, edit and sound design completed in-house, accompanied by the brilliant Birmingham 2026 track from Abi Flynn.

Big thanks to Stuart Fenton and Liz Birchall for their support on the creative development too.

The clip has been used heavily in the lead-up to the event and beyond, helping to build excitement across the city, support ticket sales and rack up millions of views across the event’s channels, and even catching the attention of a few media outlets along the way.

There are still limited tickets available for some events, so get involved if you fancy a fun day out at Alexander Stadium this week.

Recent VFX Work: Capcom Collectibles | The Knockoff

Adam likes Street Fighter…

Adam likes collectibles…

…you can probably tell where this is going.

We recently had the pleasure of working with director Max Ward, producer Will Butters and the team at Qualia Film Co., providing set extensions, VFX retouch and compositing on this fun spot for Capcom Collectibles.

The film premiered at Summer Game Fest 2026, and we’re pretty sure Adam would’ve happily accepted payment in statues alone (shhh, don’t tell Gary!)

Excuse our cheesy grins and shameless self-promotion, but it’s not every week you win four awards within a few days of each other. 😊

The postman called at adam+gary Towers last week to deliver the FOOH.com Awards we picked up for our Primark, The Ryder Cup and The London Marathon projects. Don’t let our smiles deceive you though, we were gripping them for dear life. They’re HEAVY. Properly heavy. Made from some serious stuff!

A huge thanks to the FOOH.com team for sending them, and for the lovely handwritten note that came with them too.

They’ve taken pride of place next to our Prolific North ‘Production Company of the Year’ award, which we picked up in person at the end of June. We’re still absolutely over the moon with that win, and it’s already led to some brilliant conversations.

Right… promise we’ll stop talking about awards now. 😉

We're chuffed to be named one of the week’s best branded FOOH campaigns by the team at FOOHBase again - this time for the 'One Month to Go' project for Birmingham 2026

For the first time ever, the European Athletics Championships are coming to the UK, and we helped celebrate the ‘One Month to Go’ milestone with a pan-European drone show, marking one month until the competition gets underway in Birmingham.

FOOHBase is one of the go-to platforms tracking the best Fake Out-of-Home (FOOH) and mixed-reality campaigns worldwide. Getting featured there puts us in some good company alongside brands like Louis Vuitton, Mercedes Benz and House of the Dragon.

New Work: European Athletics Championships 2026

For the first time ever, the European Athletics Championships are coming to the UK, and we helped celebrate the ‘One Month to Go’ milestone with this pan-European drone show, marking one month until the competition gets underway in Birmingham.

The Birmingham 2026 team wanted to mark the occasion in style. Our brief was to highlight the brilliant Alexander Stadium (the venue for the championships) while also demonstrating the scale of a competition that brings together Europe’s very best athletes by travelling through key cities, including Paris, Rome, Athens and even a cheeky little trip up the Matterhorn!

Pre-production, production and post-production were all completed in-house, and we’re now very well acquainted with the streets and skies of Birmingham, we can tell you! Massive thanks to Elizabeth Birchall and Stuart Fenton for all their support in making the project happen.

We think there’s still some tickets available, and we’d definitely recommend heading down to Birmingham to catch some world-class athletics.

BTS: The Kia K4 (2025)

We didn’t realise quite how far behind we were with posts!

Here’s a peek behind the scenes of a shoot we did late last year with Kia UK for the (then brand-new) K4.

A bit of a different one for us, less VFX-heavy and more performance-led, starring the brilliant . Leon played the role of a creator shooting the car… while we were filming him, filming the car. It all got a little bit meta, but it made for a fun Product Discovery.

The location was the AMAZING .workshop (which I’d had my eye on for a while, and is run by the loveliest people) that provided the perfect backdrop - we wanted everything from the location to the footage to feel textural and vibrant.

Big thanks to the Kia Academy team as always for bringing us on board, the Kia UK Product team for all their support, and to Jacob Harris, who did a great job PA’ing on his first shoot!

Edit to follow shortly 🎬

Recent VFX Work: KCOM – “Real Good” TVC

We had fun earlier this year working on this VFX-heavy TV spot for KCOM, directed by Sean Lyons and produced by Velvet Films.

Our brief was to seamlessly connect the different characters and locations, while creating visuals to represent KCOM’s technology and reliability throughout the film. The team brought us on board early in pre-production, giving us the opportunity to feed into shots and provide remote VFX supervision.

The campaign has since rolled out across Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, ITVX and KCOM’s social channels.
